netlogon and sysvol folder are empty. How to recreate. Please help us to fxi
Are those folders empty on all of your domain controllers or only one/some of them?
Since I think you posted on this earlier, regarding the "DR server didn't have sysvol and netlogon" probably the easiest thing to do is force demote and then re-promote.
ASKER
yes, you are right, thank you very much for the support. Is there any other way to fix the issue.

probably the easiest thing to do is force demote and then re-promote. is there a reason you don't want to do this? anything else is going to be difficult and will depend on whether you are using FRS or DFS/R.
ASKER

ASKER
Already all ports are open and now the issue is that sysvol and netlogon folder not present, any way to reproduce.
What DFS errors are you getting?
Unless the exact same thing happens again

The description of event 2213 contains a wmic command that's also shown in the article Shaun posted above. You can simply copy the command from the event description or the article into an elevated command prompt and run it. I've had to do this on many occasions for many customers, and it's never caused a problem. I have occasionally had to perform additional steps after running the command - if the database had been sitting in a dirty-shutdown state for a long time, for example - but that command is usually all that's required to resolve the issue. Check the DFSR event log for further events after running the command, and it should be pretty clear whether any additional steps will be required.

Sure, Thank you very much sir and All. I will do the same.
