D4 on DC1<br />
D2 on DC2 and DC3<br />

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.<br />

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

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