Hi Paul Williams
Been reading the posts on this issue, I am having similar issues.
We have a 2003 Domain, and last week we made a system time change on both
our PDC and DC, this is what I think caused our problems , Our Dc does not
contain all the folders under sysvol, (Missing syvol Default Share) nor can I
access the netlogon share on the DC.
We initially noticed our PDC was giving us access issues when editing Group
Policys (kb 253268) so I fixed the problem Policys and manually created the
missing folders,
I am not sure if this was a result of our time change or a seperate issue,
Only a few days later did we pick up Ntfrs Errors and then picked up
problems on the DC, and verified Sysvol and Netlogon Shares,Folders were
missing,
Now I know your solution says on the problem
Stop Ntfrs on DC
Set Burflags Reg to D2
Start Ntfrs on DC (To make the DC Non - Authoritive)
According to KB 315457 that in your posts we must refer to it says the Bur
Flags setting is changed in the following key (Page 6 of kb)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Cumulative Replica Sets\GUID
Which differs from your sugggestion,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process atStartup\BurFlags
Do I change both settings?
As per the kb it does say the above setting applies to DCs that do not
participate in DFS replication (I do not have DFS setup)
My confusion comes in here
Do I change the corresponding setting on the working PDC to D4 (Authoritive)
in this senario?
How do I verify that the Sysvol Contents on my PDC are working?
I am just a little concerned as I do not want to make changes to a working
Sysvol and then I have bigger problems than before,
Currently on the existing PDC the Burflags Reg Value is set to 0 and not D4
Confirm must the Burflags setting be D4 or must the value Data of the
Burflags key be 4, the wording in the kb and what I have in my reg is
confusing
