SysVolCheck failed - FRS-to-DFSR migration

We have a weird problem with the results of my dcdiag command:

Dcdiag /e /test:sysvolcheck /test:advertising

It reports that the SysVolCheck fails, but we do not experience any replication issues or other errors in event log releated to this.

We are still running FRS and are looking to migrate to DFS replication for our sysvol and netlogon folders, but we do not dare to continue based on this weird issue.

We have six domain controllers (Windows Server 2012 R2 with FRS, Forest Mode Windows Server 2012, Schema Version 69), One PDC, Two ADCs and three RDOCs, The problem we are experiencing is that the SysVolCheck will fail on all other RODC's only. We tried to created new user, it is replicating properly, We tried to created also GPO, that is also replicating. However, the SYSVOLCHECK error still exist. We are scared to Migrate FRS-DFSR.

I would request your quick assistance in this regard. Anyone, who has experience before,
