FRS Missing Member and Subscriber Objects

FRS relies on essential containers, objects, and attributes stored in Active Directory and replicated among domain controllers in a given domain. Critical objects include FRS member and subscriber objects. Optional attributes include the Schedule attribute, the FRS-File-Filter attribute, the FRS-Folder-Filter attribute, and the FRS database location. For more information about these objects, see article 296183, "Overview of Active Directory Objects That Are Used by FRS" at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=296183

To troubleshoot this problem, do the following:

1. Check for existence of FRS event ID 13562 or "Missing Subscriber Object" in FRSDiag.txt.
2. Run FRSDiag, and then run TopChk on NTFRS_DS.txt. For instructions, see TopChk Remarks.
3. In Ntfrs_ds.txt (generated by FRSDiag), find which objects are missing.
4. Do one of the following:
   • If referenced server still exists, follow the steps listed article 312862, "Recovering Missing FRS Objects and FRS Attributes in Active Directory" at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312862.
   • If the referenced server no longer exists: use Metadata Cleanup to remove the referenced server. Use Replmon to trigger replication after the deletion, and run TopChk afterward. For more information, see article 216498, "HOW TO: Remove Data in Active Directory After an Unsuccessful Demotion" at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498.
