If the SYSVOL share is absent from every domain controller (DC) in an Active Directory (AD) domain, AD management consoles may give an error like this:
"An Active Directory domain controller (AD DC) for the domain <domain> could not be contacted."
If Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) is used to replicate SYSVOL data, the issue appears difficult to resolve. An authoritative sync of DFSR cannot be performed without the ADSI Edit console. Fortunately, the issue can be resolved by modifying the registry on the DC with the authoritative copy of SYSVOL. A different registry modification is then performed on the other DCs.
