FRS_ERR_SYSVOL_POPULATE
The file replication service cannot populate the system volume because of an internal error. The event log may have more information.
FRS_ERR_SYSVOL_POPULATE is Win32 error 8013 (0x00001F4D) and concerns initial population of the SYSVOL replica by legacy FRS.
What to verify
Verify whether the domain controller can receive and materialize a complete, consistent SYSVOL tree before advertising it. Check File Replication Service events, SYSVOL and staging paths, and upstream partner and backlog.
Likely causes
- the FRS database or staging area is inconsistent.
- the upstream replica is unavailable.
- files cannot be staged or installed.
- permissions or storage prevent population.
- an internal replica-set state is invalid.
Troubleshooting steps
- Collect File Replication Service events.
- Record SYSVOL and staging paths.
- Correlate upstream partner and backlog 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
Keep the domain controller from advertising incomplete SYSVOL, repair the detailed FRS condition, and use the supported authoritative or nonauthoritative recovery procedure when required.
Related errors
FRS_ERR_SYSVOL_POPULATE_TIMEOUT means population did not finish in time; this code reports an internal population failure
Example
A newly promoted legacy domain controller never creates the SYSVOL share. The event log identifies staging access failure; correcting the volume ACL and reinitializing the member allows population.
