DCDIAG Failure FRSEVENT

[eyb0427]

Hi. I'm attempting to install a new Exchange 2003 Server on my network.
Currently all the DCs are Windows 2003. When getting to the point where I
have to run dcdiag, I get some errors back. I'm not sure if I should be
concerned about the errors. As a side note, we recently added 3 domain
controllers to our network and I'm not sure if they are the culprits.

Here's the error message I get on three of the DCs. I have a total of 7 DCs
and only 3 of them come back with this error.

Starting test: frsevent
* The File Replication Service Event log test
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the

SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may
cause

Group Policy problems.
An Warning Event occured. EventID: 0x800034C4

Based on the port, there are replication issues with your Sysvol. This is
something you should take care of prior to installing Exchange, as they can
be an indication of larger problems. You should check your logs for more
information on the errors and try to narrow it down to the server(s) that are
causing the problem. Microsoft has great tools for troubleshooting FRS
issues. Check these links for some hints and tools:

Resolve all issues and ensure that replication is occuring flawlessly before
adding Exchange, or you could increase and complicate your issues
exponentially,
