why do I have FRS on my server? |
|
|
I have a single server domain. To my knowledge and recolection I've never
confugured DFS (I am too dumb to do that and have no need). So, why is it
that I have File Replication Services node in my event viewer. To make it
worse I have Event 13568 logged regularly telling me that:
The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN
SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
Normally I would not care, however I ran DCdiag.exe and it told me:
Starting test: frsevent
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.
And, I am trying to shoot down Group Policy problems. For some reason that
has been eluding me for 3 days now I am not able to get Folder Redirection
to work. |

FRS is used to replicate SYSVOL between domain controllers in the same
domain. Therefore, it is automatically configured and running on all DCs,
and you should not disable it.

Yes, but I only have one domain, one Windows 2003 Server which is the domain
controller. So, as far as I understand there is no reason to replicate
SYSVOL. I am confused.

NtFrs is used to replicate the SYSVOL hierarchy (a Dfs link) between all
domain controllers in the DOMAIN.
If you only have ONE DC, well, there won't be any replication but then
there's no need to turn NtFrs off either. If you've had a Journal Wrap, I
would assume you do have more than one DC, and you need to perform a
non-authorative restore of SYSVOL.

Well like he said: he's only got ONE domaincontroller 
And we can all find knowledgebase articles about ntfrs non-authorative restore's and all articles talk about situations with multiple DC's
But the thing is: There's only one DC!!
Today i got the same 13568 NTFRS journal_wrap_error on my Small Business Server 2000 SP4 (and yes, it is the only DC in the domain, hell i only got 3 PC's  )
 Question remaining is:
How can you restore from what's not there, what's gonna happen if you do the non-authorative restore on a domain with only one DC:?: since there's nothing to replicate it back from |

With a single DC scenario you have to restore the system state. You can't
do the Burflags restore because there's no replication partner to pull from.
In this case, it doesn't even matter if you mark the state as authorative or
not as there's no replication partners. If you don't have a backup, you
have to recreate the SYSVOL; there's a KB on this.

Perhaps I was a little hasty in my reply. A JRNL_WRAP_ERROR is *usually*
down to a major replication load, etc. However the USN Journal is a local
thing and a wrap doesn't have to be caused by replication. Excessive writes
will do this too. You are generally more likely to see this if you are low
on disk space. In SP4 the NTFS USN Journal is 512MB by default. The USN
Journal is kind of like a transaction log -the problem is it has a finite
size (which isn't the disk by default ;-)

Thanks Paul,
This is the info i was looking for. Since the problem seems to be there for a few weeks now, i probably have overwritten my last good system state backup by now  . So looks like i have to dig up that KB article you mentioned  .
Thanks |
