DFS service exception
- Oct 19, 2022
Hello, I have now checked, Event ID 4004 Error 9003 .
Can this fault be resolved only by deleting the DFSR Database in System Volume Information?Absolutely not. The simplest solution may be to demote, reboot, promo the problematic one. Also how long has this been going on? If this exceeds the tombstone life then this one should be removed from network, seize roles (if necessary)
Transfer or seize FSMO roles - Windows Server | Microsoft Learn
then do clean up

and rebuild the failed one.
