Hi Gary
Wao!! the metadata cleanup worked properly without disturbing DC1, and now all the entries of the faulty DC have been removed.
Most importantly, now if I shut down DC1, our other clients can log on properly and can access shared folders and the internet properly. Great
But, the problem of DFS replication is still there, which means the replication is restarting after a certain time period.
****When I restart DC2 and immediately check sysvol folder, it shows me all the policies, but after some time if I again check sysvol, it does not show me policies.**
**gpupdate /force updates DC2 group policies after DC2 restarts, but after some time, it does not.****
