Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 SP2
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 SP3
Domain Services for Windows

Situation

The replication of the sysvol (sysvolsync) is failing.

The log file /var/opt/novell/xad/log/sysvolsync.log shows:
[ERR :]Unable to sync the changes to DomainController dsfw-adc1.nts.com err 255
[ERR :]Unable to sync the changes to DomainController dsfw-adc2.nts.com err 255
[INFO:]Ticket cache is destroyed
[INFO:]sysvolsync stopped

[ERR :]sysvolsync stopped
. Status: Not Successful. Please see the log for more details



Resolution

In a shell execute the following command:
export SYSVOL_LOG_LEVEL=4

Executing sysvolsync in the same shell will add additional debug information to the following log file:
/var/opt/novell/xad/log/sysvolsync.log

Executing sysvolsync -v will display the additional debug information in the current shell (stdout) as well.
