#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : USN rollback -- event 2095 and a controller that stops replicating Fix : Take it out of service and rebuild it Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-id-usn-rollback Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 3-4 hours Risk : high Reversible : NO -- read the undo note below before running WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Event 2095 has been logged. There is no supported repair; this is the procedure. HOW TO UNDO IT None. This is a rebuild by design. 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.
