    I have done Primary Domain Controller restore test using NetBackup in my Lab. But after restore i found that sysvol and Netlogon shares are missing.Then i followed the article and changed the following registry value.

    1. In the Command box, type net stop ntfrs.
    2. Locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup
    3. In the right pane, double click BurFlags.
    4. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type D4 and then click OK.
    5. Run net start ntfrs

    After this Sysvol Folder comes up without any script or any content in that. Netlogon also missing. How to restore this.

    Problem Has been resolved after doing the below procedure.

    Sysvol and Netlogon shares will be missing do not work

    Run the following command on all domain controllers in the forest.

    Net Stop NTFRS  (stop the file replication service)

    Go Into Registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup

    Change the BurFlags DWORD to = D4 on the Primary Domain Controller and change to D2 on all of the backup domain controllers.

    Start the NTFRS service again by using Net Start NTFRS command

    On the server where you edited the BurFlags DWORD to D4 copy the folders in the folder NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog to C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\yourdomain.localIn the Command box on the server where you set the DWORD to D4, type net start ntfrs.

     Start the Net Logon Service

    If you restored this DC, you should have transferred all FSMO roles to another DC. And in this case, you MUST NOT use D4, but D2...

    Restore from backup.

    Dear,

    Since you have restored the domain controller into a lab.

    First you need to seize the FSMO roles from old DC and need to move the roles to your Restored DC. Once done you can view all the folders.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    When you say "lab" I assume that this restored DC is the only domain controller existing there. Right?

    Are you sure your SYSVOL is replicated using NtFrs and not DFS? DFS replicated SYSVOL requireds other restore procedure, that is described here: https://kx.cloudingenium.com/microsoft/servers/windows-servers/force-authoritative-non-authoritative-synchronization-dfsr-replicated-sysvol-like-d4d2-frs/ (Please note, that as this is not Microsoft resource, it can change at any time, so you are using it at your own risk).

    In short: dfsrmig.exe /getglobalstate

    The first chapter of the following article contains more detailed information on determining whether it is NtFrs and DFS: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc507518%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    Depending on the server version you're running as your DC, you can check the event logs --> applications and services logs --> DFS Replication.

    You can also type this command in:  dfsrmig.exe /getglobalstate

    If it states:   DFSR migration has not yet initialized       then you're running FRS.  If it says "Eliminated" then your DC is using DFS-R.

    This is the utility used in migrating replication from NTFRS to DFS-R which DFS-R is what server 2008 and above have moved too.  MS has moved away from NTFRS. 

    What server version are you running (2008, 2008 R2, 20102, etc)?

    the only way to verify Sysvol replication is to check the policy count and error event

    If the domain functional level is Windows Server 2003, then SYSVOL is definitely replicated via NtFrs. In this case the BurFlags are the correct way to control SYSVOL restore. So you need to study the logs to see what goes wrong.

    shehimkannur's solution did it for me. I didn't understand the last part that involves copying some folder to another folder. I haven't done it yet but my dcdiag is passing so I think my problem might be solved. Bookmarking just in case. Thx.
