Domain controller FRS JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
Inherited a domain.
I have 3 Windows 2012 controllers. 2 have been around for some time. I recently added to see if I could figure out the problem. Functional level of the domain is Windows 2008
DC1 has netlogon and sysvol shares. Shows it has been in journal wrap probably for a year. Holds all FSMO roles.
DC2 no shares. Has not be replicating for over a year.
DC3 (new) no shares. Cant sync either.
DC1 clearly holds the keys to the kingdom and if it goes offline, we have issues.
Can I safely perform the D4 authoritative restore on DC1 and then do I do a D2 on the others? Not sure of the process here since there appears to be a total lack of replication on the secondary controllers.
Many thanks

Thanks for the information. This is a great article for steps. 2 questions...
1. I assume there will be no real downtime since I'm only killing replication. But, planning on doing this over the weekend to be safe.
2. DC1 has the journal wrap error. The D4 will clear this up correct? Just worried about the "corruption" on this server. Its a VM, so will create a snapshot prior to doing this, but wanted to confirm I understand how the D4 clears things up.
thanks!

D4 on DC1
D2 on DC2 and DC3
Once things are replicated and healthy again, you should convert from FRS to DFSR for SYSVOL. It NEEDS to be done before you introduce a Windows Server 2019 DC.
