Thanks Jorge_de_Almeida_Pinto
Yes...The SYSVOL share is setup (C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol) and the SYSVOL
structure is OK including junctions.
Staging junction: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\staging\domain
Sysvol junction: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\domain
I've also check out the sysvol registry parameter and the FRS details in AD
and it all looks OK.
fRSRootPath: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\domain
fRSStagingPath: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\staging\domain
Sysvol parameter in registry: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol
There is only one actual sysvol folder the 2 extra junctions pointing to
C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\domain. These are using the old domain name so I think it
will be OK to just remove them.
Cheers
