Ok. So in my case it would be true. This was a new domain and new domain controllers. I am surprise that DCPromo didnt install the DFS replication service. On the initial install.

You couldn't add after-the-fact. Sounds like you may need to remove the 2019, do the FRS->DFSR migration, then add the new domain controller.

No if I did that then there would be no domain at all. The domain started out on Windows Server 2019 (vdc1 and vdc2). Also I just installed the DFS Replication Service itself after i realized the SYSVOL service folder wasn't replicating.

Ok, sounds good then, no you didn't need to add the DFS role unless you plan to create some DFS namespaces.
