Hi,
We have a singel domain with 3 DC's .2 of them is server 2008 R2 and 1 is a VM server 2012 R2. Last week we had a issue with our domain and we had to restore the VM server 2012 R2. I have siezed all the FSMO roles from the DC 2008 R2 and cleaned up the metadata for one of the server 2008 R2 DCs and othere one didn't cleanup yet.

Now when on the VM DC that has all FSMO role click on the default domain policy get the this message

Permissions for this GPO in the SYSVOL folder are inconsistent with those in Active Directory, click yes to set permission.

Should we go ahed with Yes option? or we can correct this issue some other way?

Thanks

    Hello @Shahin Mortazave ,

    Thank you for posting here.

    Based on the following article, if you have permissions to modify security on the default GPOs, select OK in response to the message that is mentioned in the Symptoms section. This action modifies the ACLs on the Sysvol part of the Group Policy Object and makes them consistent with the ACLs on the Active Directory component.

    Reference
    "Permissions for this GPO in the SYSVOL folder are inconsistent with those in Active Directory" message when you run GPMC
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/permissions-this-gpo-inconsistent

    Hope the information above is helpful.

    Should you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,
    Daisy Zhou
