Great article, helped me to clean up an old 2008 FRS replication system that had not been brought current on Server2016. Couple questions though....

 

Can the old registry keys be deleted? 

HKLM\~\DFSR\Parameters\SysVols\Migrating SysVols\

 

Name                                                 Type                      DATA

NTFRS SYSVOL Path                          REG_SZ                  C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol

 

I hate leaving old stuff in the registry.

 

And perhaps more concerning, why wasn't it removed in the process? Can that logic be added?
