FRS_ERR_PARENT_INSUFFICIENT_PRIV
The file replication service cannot satisfy the request because the user has insufficient privileges on the domain controller. The event log may have more information.
FRS_ERR_PARENT_INSUFFICIENT_PRIV is Win32 error 8009 (0x00001F49) and concerns authorization of an FRS request on the parent domain controller.
What to verify
Verify whether the caller or delegated service identity has the required rights on the domain-controller side of the operation. Check parent domain controller selected, caller token at the parent, and directory object ACL and audit event.
Likely causes
- delegation covers the child but not the parent DC.
- the parent object ACL denies the requested change.
- the remote token is filtered.
- the operation requires domain-level privileges not present.
Troubleshooting steps
- Collect parent domain controller selected.
- Record caller token at the parent.
- Correlate directory object ACL and audit event with the File Replication Service event log, Service Control Manager, Directory Service and Netlogon events, RPC diagnostics, and replica-set state.
Handling, retry, and recovery
Grant or delegate only the documented parent-side rights and verify the operation against the same domain controller.
Related errors
FRS_ERR_INSUFFICIENT_PRIV concerns the local computer; this code explicitly identifies the parent domain controller
Example
A branch administrator has local rights on a member but cannot complete SYSVOL-related setup because the parent DC object denies the operation. Correct delegation resolves only the parent-side check.
