Domain doesn't start NTFRS 13566
Hi,
We have a domain with only one domain controller which is showing the event 13566 on the FRS event viewer and doesn't share the sysvol, so it doesn't become a domain controller and we haven't the domain.
There isn't a backup of the active directory, Could I restore the domain?.
Thank you.

No,
I didn't change anything because I have only one domain and controller, and I guess that authoritative restore is only possible when you have more than one domain controller, although I'm not very sure.

The Burflag method is used to re-initialize the replica sets. "D4" is called "authoritative" since the inbound partners (D2) will replicate from the D4 DC.
Check if the Burflags reg.key is '0'.

Do I need to have replica partners to use burflags?, that's my question, I only have a domain controller.
You don't need a replication partner.
Is your SYSVOL folder missing? If so and you don't have a backup, you have lost all your GPO's and scripts.
See Resolution 1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958804
(Running "dcgofix" will create the default domain policy and default domain controller policy)

Stop the File Replication service on the domain controller. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate and then click the BurFlags value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\

Hi,
But I still have SYSVOL and I'd like to keep GPO's and scripts, is that possible?.
Thank you.

Take a backup of sysvol and be sure to preserve the security
ASKER
Hi,
Once the backup is done and the security preserved, Do I have to an authoritative with burflags set to D4?. Once the FRS replicas are resotres, Should I have to restore the SYSVOL and its security?.
Could you tell me the needed steps I have to follow?.

Fine!,
Everything is working again.
Just another more question.
If I had two or more DC's, a backup of SYSVOL and with the same situation, what's the best way to solve the problem.
My attempt:
1. Set Burflags key to D4 on DC1
2. Restart NtFRS service on DC1.
3. Look in your FRS event log if it is successful.
4. Open SYSVOL and see if you policies and scripts are present. If not, you need to restore them from the backup*.
5. Verify SYSVOL is in every single DC.
6. Once SYSVOL and all subfolders are there, restore SYSVOL backup.
7. Verify that Policies are there.
Thank you.

Have you set the Burflag to D4? FRS 13566 is logged when a authoritative restore is started.
