DCDiag error
I have a network that is running a 2003R2 server with SP2. We are migrating it to SBS2011. When I run DCDiag prior to the Migration utility,I get the following error:
Starting test: frsevent
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the
SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may cause
Group Policy problems.
I would appreciate some direction.
Thx.

What Event log errors are you seeing in relation to the failing sysvol replication?
ASKER
At quick glance, I can't see any error in the event logs along these lines. I'm getting this error when running DCDiag from the command prompt.
What are the SBS server NIC settings for DNS configured as? Is the server looking only to itself for DNS on the NIC TCP/IP properties?
ASKER
It is using a static IP using a non public 192.168 address. Remember the source server is not an SBS Server but rather a 2003R2 server.
It is also the DNS server.
It is on a WAN with one DC located on the West Coast and one located on the East Coast connected by full time VPN.
This server is the SOA and the GC.
It is looking to itself for DNS inquiries.

Sorry - so used to SBS to SBS migrations!
Okay - so DNS is good. Is the File Replication Service Service set to Automatic and is it Started?

Hey no worries. Appreciate your help!
Yes on both.

Good.
So can you please check the event logs again. Look / filter for errors on the System Event Log and see what errors are present relating to the failed replication. We might have to force the issue with the burflags fix, but would like to know more before tweaking the registry!!

There are 16k events in the system event log and I can't see anything that relates to sysvol.
There is a folder on the C: drive called System Volume Information.
I'm admittedly not a Event Viewer guru and am not clear how (or even if) I can search for the term sysvol?

D2 option?
ASKER
I got it. Non authoritative.
The Non-Authoritative restore option adds a D2 registry key. Please follow the Non-Authoritative Restore section.

Do you have an idea of how long the rebuild will take?
Minutes - it is very quick.

Re-ran DCDiag and everything passed. Mission Accomplished.
Now off to run the Migration Wizard.
Thanks Alan!

I'm a dummy. I just didn't click the right buttons. Can you tell me how to fix it?
ASKER
You should get all points. My sincerest apologies!
No problems - looks like you have sorted it. Many thanks and good luck with the migration.
