#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : SYSVOL not shared, or Group Policy files missing on one controller Fix : Resynchronise the affected controller from a healthy one Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-id-sysvol Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the broken controller Expect : 60 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX One controller is affected and at least one is healthy. HOW TO UNDO IT The controller pulls from its partners; nothing local is authoritative during this. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
