Streamlined Migration of FRS to DFSR SYSVOL Learn three faster alternative ways to migrate from FRS to DFSR The End is Nigh (for FRS) – updated for WS2016First published on TECHNET on Jun 25, 2014 Hi folks, Ned here again.FRS not replicating Event 13508, NtFrs Two weeks ago our host went down for DC1. Since DC1, and DC2 are not replicating to one another. It is currently FRS. I discovered this while looking in to migrating to DFS. I have found and went through this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/889ee624-1e6e-4e0d-a8b8-8d8a974ac0dc/2-new-dc-not-replicating-event-13508-ntfrs, but I don't know if a D2/D4 is what I need here. I have reviewed this as well: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/use-burflags-to-reinitialize-frs. In this it doesn't specify which DC I set the flag on. I assume PDC, but either way from the bottom of the document this isn't going to fix my root cause issue. "If you configure an FRS member to complete an authoritative or nonauthoritative restore by using the BurFlags registry subkey, you don't resolve the issues that initially caused the replication problem." Other articles I have reviewed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-2000-server/bb727056(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-2000-server/bb727057(v=technet.10) I can ping from each device, and outputs for troubleshooting is below. I have confirmed ports for RPC are open and they can talk to one another over the network on 135. Services on both DCs are running as well.

Side question as well, how can I initiate/force an FRS sync? The log shows the failures once daily, 25 hours apart (one hour later each day) since the host went down, so I assumed it was a scheduled task, but I couldn't find anything in taskschd or a schedule option via ntfrsutl.
