mortentwellmann Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Hi, I am using Windows 2008 Server and have it installed as a Windows 2000 domain controller. Out of pure stupidity I changed the drive letter which contained the SYSVOL share and managed to lock myself out of the computer. I somehow managed to get back in a restore most things, however I still have problems with backup. Windows complains about creating the shadow copy and looking into the Event Viewer I found out I had still not fully handled the File Replication Service to handle properly. The old SYSVOL location was e:\windows\sysvol\domain and the new one is c:\windows\sysvol\domain. But I continue getting the error: "The File Replication Service cannot replicate e:\windows\sysvol\domain because the pathname of the replicated directory is not the fully qualified pathname of an existing accessible local directory" Naturally I though I could simply search through the system registry and change all instances of e:\windows\[...] to the right path and restart. However when I restart the paths have been changed back again and the FRS still will not start. Can you please tell me how I can reconfigure the FRS Replica Set so it uses the right path or something like that? Quote
fabs Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Replicate to another server and rebuild the one you broke? Quote
