Issue:

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR. Replica set name is : “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” Replica root path is : “c:\windows\sysvol\domain” Replica root volume is : “\\.\C:” A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one of the following reasons. [1] Volume “\\.\C:” has been formatted. [2] The NTFS USN journal on volume “\\.\C:” has been deleted. [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume “\\.\C:” has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal. [4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time. [5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on “\\.\C:”. Setting the “Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore” registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state. [1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run “net stop ntfrs” followed by “net start ntfrs” to restart the File Replication Service. [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set. WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again. To change this registry parameter, run regedit. Click on Start, Run and type regedit. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Click down the key path: “System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters” Double click on the value name “Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore” and update the value. If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

1. Open the Registry Editor and Create/Update the “Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore” DWORD: Start -> Run -> regedit -> Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters -> Edit or Create the DWORD “Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore” and set its value to 1
2. Stop the NTFRS service and start it again: Start -> Run -> cmd -> net stop ntfrs -> net start ntfrs

The File Replication Service is deleting this computer from the replica set “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” as an attempt to recover from the error state, Error status = FrsErrorSuccess At the next poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. The File Replication Service successfully added this computer to the following replica set: “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” Information related to this event is shown below: Computer DNS name is “server1.domain.local” Replica set member name is “SERVER1″ Replica set root path is “c:\windows\sysvol\domain” Replica staging directory path is “c:\windows\sysvol\staging\domain” Replica working directory path is “c:\windows\ntfrs\jet” For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

The File Replication Service successfully added the connections shown below to the replica set: “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” “server2.domain.local” “server3.domain.local” “server2.domain.local” “server3.domain.local” The File Replication Service is no longer preventing the computer SYDEXCH from becoming a domain controller. The system volume has been successfully initialized and the Netlogon service has been notified that the system volume is now ready to be shared as SYSVOL. Type “net share” to check for the SYSVOL share. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
