Hi,

In our domain there are two DC both running Windows 2003 Server with SP1. One of the DC has been
experiencing the following error message:

===============================================
The File Replication Service is deleting this computer from the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" as an attempt to recover from the error state,
Error status = FrsErrorMismatchedVolumeSerialNumber
At the next poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
===============================================

When this error message appears the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares are deleted, hence no one cannot
logon to the domain. There are no other error messages within the event logs for DNS or FRS. As per the message these shares should re-appear in 5 minutes. They never do. I either have to restart the server or stop and restart the FRS service and the 2 shares will re-appear. It has happened over the last week the majority of the time at 9.15pm and once at 3.30am.

I have checked Google and Microsoft Knowledge base and there is very very little information on this type of problem.

Is there anyone out there that could shed some light on this problem or point me in the right direction. Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Borisb

I would perform a non-authorative restore of the SYSVOL on the machine that
is logging this error.

To do this, stop FRS (net stop ntfrs), change the following registry value
to D2 and then start FRS (net start ntfrs):

HKLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ NtFrs\ Parameters\
Backup/Restore\ Process at Startup\BurFlags
