https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/842162

I tried dcdiag /test:netlogons and getting error 1203

how should I check sysvol health also I don't see any file replicated in sysvol blank folder in D drive

Mr Tortu(r)e

Hi,

Did you have any issues in following that MS KB article or every step went fine ?

I suppose you did the second choice of the MS KB, "Modify the registry and manually move the SYSVOL tree to a new drive."
Do you have another DC ? If yes you could try the first KB choice, demote and promote again specifying sysvol path, which seems more clean to me and will have a very good chance to succeed.
Also I never had to relocate sysvol, maybe other expert will have a more accurate advice on it.

Other comment :
Well if you don't have another DC, you should think about adding one for redundancy.
Win 2003 is oooooold and now unsupported, so very vulnerable if we speak about network security.

Not sure to understand you completly.

Nevermind, do as you want and most of all as you can.
Good luck.
