["Win32 Error 1203" errors on Server 2003 DC]

Hi,

Yes, the "policies" folder does appear in SYSVOL, and has the same data as the original DC.

There is also a folder called "DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_Preinstall_Directory" on each DC which I'm not sure about.

All FSMO roles are on the 2 live DC's, the old DC was demoted correctly and removed from the network.

This problem has been happening since before promoting / demoting DC's.

Thanks,

Colin.

Hi,

I removed one DC and added another 2 weeks ago, but the problem has been ongoing for 4 weeks.

There are no browsing issues with the new DC.

Yes, there is a SYSvol folder and netlogon folder that is shared.

Results from dcdiag /test:netlogons below:

I am currently restarting the NetLogon service each day to resolve the problem....but I am hoping to find a permanent fix.

Thanks in advance.
