Cannot Create Junction Point
Active Directory WAN, 3 servers; one is w2008, the other 2 are W2003 Enterprise.
On a windows server 2003, I'm having replication issues.
In C:\windows\sysvol\sysvol, a dir shows NO junction to the domain name of spennet.local
I've narrowed it down to one server where the command
linkd c:\windows\sysvol\sysvol\s
returns
Cannot create a link at: c:\windows\sysvol\sysvol\s
ntfrsutl ds |findstr /i "root stage"
gives:
Root: : c:\windows\sysvol\domain
Stage: c:\windows\sysvol\staging\
The staging junction is ok, but not the domain.
Ultrasound tells me Sysvol does not contain a junction point.
To get to this point, I've set the burlflags as outlined in a MS document, restarted the ntfrs with authoritative restore on one server and non-authoritative on the others.
It looks like FRS is working; scripts are populating and group policy changes are too.
What next?
