Hello all, I have big troubles with my SYSVOL share on my domain controller. This is what I have found out so far: From Event viewer: Event ID=13539 The File Replication Service cannot replicate c: \winnt\sysvol\staging\domain because the pathname of the replicated directory is not the fully qualified pathname of an existing, accessible local directory. From NtFrs_000x.log <FrsNewDsFindComputer: 1412: 9768: S2: 13:01:27> :DS: Computer's dns name is asp-pdc1.xxx.no <FrsNewDsFindComputer: 1412: 9782: S2: 13:01:27> :DS: Settings reference is cn=ntds settings,cn=asp-pdc1,cn=servers,cn=default-first-site-name,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=xxx,dc=no <FrsOpenSourceFileW: 1412: 1314: S0: 13:01:27> NtCreateFile failed : NTStatus: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND <FrsOpenSourceFileW: 1412: 1325: S0: 13:01:27> ++ CreateFile failed on file \??\c:\winnt\sysvol\staging\domain; WStatus: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND <FrsVerifyVolume: 1412: 3591: S0: 13:01:27> ERROR - Unable to open root path c:\winnt\sysvol\staging\domain.

Something has happend to my AD and the SYSVOL structure. This is my SYSVOL directory structure: domain DO_Not_Remove_Ntfrs_Preinstall_Directory Policies Scripts NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog Policies Scripts staging domain(Icon marked with"!", subfolders cant be accessed) staging areas <domain.name>(subfolders cant be accessed) sysvol(shared) <domain.name> DO_Not_Remove_Ntfrs_Preinstall_Directory NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog Policies Scripts Policies Scripts ---------------------------------------------- I find this structure odd, specially the "!" mark on the staging\domain folder. Something has definitly happend to my AD. Big question is?? What can I do to fix this??? best regards, tobias ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This E-mail has been scanned by ScanMail and is virusfree. ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
