Migrate to Prepared State - You will migrate to the Prepared state, where both FRS and DFSR are replicating their own individual copies of SYSVOL, but the FRS copy mounts the SYSVOL and Netlogon shares. On the PDC Emulator domain controller, run (as an elevated domain admin):
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1
Run the following to force AD to sync.
Wait for this AD value on the PDCE to converge on all domain controllers, Use the following command to see progress:
Dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
dfsrdiag pollad
repadmin /syncall /AdeP
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1
Wait for this AD value on the PDCE to converge on all domain controllers, Use the following command to see progress:
Dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
Migrate to Redirected State - You will migrate to the Redirected state, where both FRS and DFSR are replicating their own individual copies of SYSVOL, but the DFSR copy mounts the SYSVOL and Netlogon shares. On the PDC Emulator domain controller, run (as an elevated domain admin):
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 2
Wait for this AD value on the PDCE to converge on all domain controllers. Use the following command to see progress:
Dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
You will migrate to the Eliminated state, where DFSR is replicating SYSVOL and FRS is removed. Unlike the Prepared and Redirected states, there is no way to go backwards from this step - once executed, FRS is permanently stopped and cannot be configured again. On the PDC Emulator domain controller, run (as an elevated domain admin):
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 3
Wait for this AD value on the PDCE to converge on all domain controllers, then for DFSR to switch to Eliminated state on each domain controller and update AD, and finally for that value to replicate back to the PDCE. Use the following command to see progress:
Dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
