Missing NETLOGON share (//domainname/scripts), Error 5706, 2511 in Event Log, Everyth

**ps3cheats** · 15-Mar-2007, 03:29 AM

I was setting up roaming profiles for our domain and wanted to set up a default profile. MSFT reccomends http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...8b58078cc.mspx to copy a model profile to //netlogon/default user. I could not find this directory (or the netlogon share) anywhere on either DC. We have 2 W2003 SP1 DC's replicating with each other. Everything has been working fine on the domain--no problems logging in, etc. Netlogon service is started. The only reason you would know something is up is

EID 5706
The Netlogon service could not create server share G:\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\SCRIPTS. The following error occurred:
The system cannot find the file specified.

EID 2511
The server service was unable to recreate the share NETLOGON because the directory G:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\SCRIPTS no longer exists. Please run "net share NETLOGON /delete" to delete the share, or recreate the directory G:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\SCRIPTS.

Now, I have looked at EventID and MSFT and they both reccomend checking registry settings at netlogon\parameters\, but all of these are perfect. The path to the sysvol directory is correct on both machines.

Now the MSFT How to rebuild the SYSVOL tree and its content in a domain article is great, but doesn't really talk about how to just recreate the /scripts directory. As everything is working fine on the machines, replication, etc. I see no reason to recreate everything.

I would guess the G:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\SCRIPTS directory was accidently deleted. Can I simply recreate an empty directory there called SCRIPTS? If so, what should I set the permissions to be? Should I stop netlogon and FRS first because replication is in use?

I don't really like to mess around with AD unless I'm double-sure about what I'm doing.

Don't touch anything else.
Simply recreate the folder, using the default permissions and reboot.
The share permissions are still held in the registry so should recreate.

Once the server has come back from the reboot, see what permissions it has been granted. It may well inherit a lot of them.

It is very odd that you don't have the folder on either server. I have seen one disappear before.
