After successfully migrating from FRS to DFSR you get the File Replication NtFrs service is Stopped error on the local servers AD DS Services list. In the Event logs you may see Event id 13575 13577. You can confirm your migration completed by opening a cmd prompt as administrator and typing in: dfsrmig /getmigrationstate After your migration to DFSR is completed and you have given your servers ample time to propagate this service is no longer required. Since it is set to “Automatic”, as shown below” it shows in logs as a false positive error. Edit the File Replication Service and change it to “Disabled”, as shown below: Once it is listed as “Disabled” it will no longer show in the Console as an “error” Note : it may take some time to clear from the active view

Open Powershell as an Administrator and run “Get-ADSyncScheduler” as shown below: Note SyncCycleEnabled is “False” you want that to be “True” for automated Synchronization.

Local permissions will not properly delegate to Office 365 One drive as of the creation of this doc. I recommend setting up groups locally and do not sync those to 365 for local permissions. You will then need to mirror those permissions in One Drive. To do that the easiest way is to use Teams on 365. Create Microsoft Teams for each group needing access to OneDrive cloud share: Create Team and set permissions to Private so random domain users cant join without proper approval: Add Members: Change anyone that should have admin control to “owner” all others should remain members: Open up the OneDrive share to set permissions. Select Files and to select Details: Select Manage Access in the right hand window: Select “Grant Access” at the top and enter in your Team Group name: You can uncheck Notify People so they don’t get lots of random invites and select “Grant Access”: The members of that group can then access that share. The easiest way to navigate to it is to copy that share from the

When I setup multiple offsite backup jobs they were set to run only on Monday-Thursday due to a larger backup job running on Friday that takes over 36 hours to complete, due to limited internet bandwidth. However, the backup jobs would run on Saturday? The first clue is when you view the last backup you see at the top “Active Full” In Storage> Advanced I forgot that under the Backup Job settings I designated Saturday as the day to run “Active Full”: That setting overrides the settings on “On these days”. I changed my Active full backup on all the Monday-Thursday backup jobs to run on Monday instead, which will run on the schedule needed and not conflict with my other Friday-Saturday backup job.
