One of our domain controllers experienced an unexpected shut down.
Since then it has been unable to replicate SYSVOL information.
This issue has been ongoing for several months, and we don't have a backup of SYSVOL from that date.
This domain controller also holds all FSMO roles with the exception of the Infrastructure Master.
One action I am considering for resolution is to make another domain controller authoritative for the SYSVOL store.
The following articles detail this procedure, which involves setting the Burflags entry to D2 or D4:

I am considering about setting the burflags entry to D2 on the bad DC and to D4 on the other good DCs.
Given the configuration of this domain controller, what ramifications should I be aware of when using this procedure?
Thanks!
