After vMotion of domain controller (win2008R2) problems with sysvol share

Hi all,

we always run into trouble when migrating a domain controller (win2008R2) with vMotion. Eventually after the vMotion is finished successfully the sysvol share of the migrated dc becomes not accessible for all other dcs (3 virtual, 2 physical). Because of that the sysvol replication (via DFSR) breaks down and has to be manually restarted.

We use ESXi 5.1 build 1157734 for a long time now and had never such problem when a DC is migrated (e.g. by DRS). We do not take snapshots of the virtual DCs.

Has anyone experienced similar issues and probably got it solved?
