authoritative sync

About this tag
Authoritative sync is a recovery method used in Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) to restore the SYSVOL folder on domain controllers. When DFSR fails to replicate, such as in a multi-DC environment with Windows Server 2012 and 2016, an authoritative sync can force a specific DC to become the primary source for replication. However, as seen in troubleshooting scenarios, performing an authoritative or non-authoritative sync may not always resolve initial sync states or replication issues. This tag covers discussions on DFSR replication problems, authoritative sync procedures, and related recovery steps for SYSVOL replication in Active Directory environments.
