This one is kind of interesting. I use a replicated test environment to validate things, it works great. I was using the domains sysvol to quickly copy some text between member servers, however to my amazement I was not seeing the same contents from two different member servers even though both of them validated their security with my domain (nltest \/sc_verify:domain)…<\/p>\n
It wasn’t until I checked both DC’s that I noticed one member server was seeing a SYSVOL from DC 1 and the other member server was seeing contents from SYSVOL from DC2.<\/p>\n
Now, all DC’s have the same SYSVOl contents right?! So what gives?<\/p>\n
You may have already guessed it, DFSR issues…. if you know the title didn’t give anything away…<\/p>\n
