GPOs and SYSVOL folder.

Question

Hi everyone!

How can I find out if there is an orphaned directory? If so, which directory? The numbers are not the same.

Hope I was clear enough.

Answer 1

Hi,
Before delete anything, backup all the sysvol files.
Then you can use the script to find the ‘Orphaned’ folders in the sysvol folder.
For the script and steps you can refer to the following link:

Answer 3

No, no, replication is fine.

One old DC w2k8r2 was turned off (I will do the metadata cleanup later), but between the others (two DCs w2k19 on the same site) replication is working 100%.
