The FRS migration to DFSR can be restarted, even after Eliminiated state…
The simple steps to get back is to reset the DFSR Global Settings value from 48 to 0 using ADSIEdit:
You then delete the entire “Migrating Sysvols” key on the DFSR services registry:
Then, once every RWDC in the domain or forest isn done (yes you DO have to run this on the forest too), you can then start with ‘dfsrmig /setglobalstate 0’ again (not ‘dfsrmig /setmigrationstate”)!
REMEMBER to wait for ADSI Eidt changes on ALL RWDCs, and in the Registry, for DFSR on ALL RWDCs, before proceeding…
Waaaasaasait! 🙂
dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1
dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
dfsrmig /getglobalstateALL these processess can get tweaked by DFSR with PS commands in the DFSR module, but the old dfsmig.exe commandline still functions well.
run ‘dfsrdiag pollad’ between each step to check progress, whatch the DFSR event log and BE PATIENT.
If you rush this you will have to start ALL over again. Ask me how I know… :/
