Scenario:
- Single domain with 2 DCs, one 2008 R2 and one 2003
- AD replicates fine
- I’m getting journal_wraperrors on the 2008 R2 DC. This prevents FRS replication of sysvol.
- Administrators have made changes to group policy settings on both DCs and I want to keep all changes somehow before fix the journal_wrap error
Question 1:
- Is there any supported way (or if not a workaround) to “export” the GPO changes from the 2008 R3 DC and “merge” them to the (functional) 2003 server GPOs (without overwriting current ones)?
- If the answer is no and no I guess I can somehow export or just compare the GPOs and make sure all changes on the 2008 server are on the 2003 one, and if not, add them…
Question 2:
- My plan is to somehow make sure all GPO changes on the 2008 DCs are in place on the 2003 server and then use the FRS BurFlags registry key to perform a nonauthoritative restore on the 2008 R2 DC to make it "restore" sysvol from the 2003 sever.
- All references are Server 2000 and 2003 in SP levels, I find no mention of sevrer 2008, but since this one uses FRS I'm hoping it will work. Will it?
Question 3:
- Is there anything else that will "happen" besides GPOs resyncing if I use the burlap registry command?
- Will it resync the netlogon folder for example?
- Anything else?
Any help would me much appreciated!
