After going through Server 2k to 2012R2 documentation and following all recommendations within said forums, the simplest solution presented itself.
It came down to a simple registry change.
Open administrative powershell.
Run net share
Review shares and find NETLOGON and SYSVOL shares, if they are there turn them off and back on in registry.
Type regedt32 in Powershell and edit the following registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
Change sysvolready=0 <<<< Turns off sysvol and netlogon shares.
Change sysvolready=1 <<<< Creates and shares sysvol and netlogon automatically.
Do this to all Domain Controllers
Run DcDiag /v
If you are tired of seeing old errors clear all logs in Powershell with this script.
wevtutil el | Foreach-Object {wevtutil cl "$_"}
I was able to fix all errors with DNS prior to using this fix.
I still have one error I can not get around, it will not go away, 100 hours later.
Starting test: VerifyReferences
The system object reference (serverReference) CN=SRV6,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=acs,DC=local and backlink on
CN=SRV6,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=acs,DC=local are correct.
Some objects relating to the DC SRV6 have problems:
[1] Problem: Missing Expected Value
Base Object:
CN=NTDS Settings,CN=SRV6,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=acs,DC=local

......................... SRV6 failed test VerifyReferences
This is the last dcdiag error on the 2012R2 legacy server, with 5 new 2016 servers now properly replicating SYSVOL, NETLOGON. Hopefully I can Demote and remove this server with this error still in place, when this server is removed, No more error. If anyone has advice, please do, as this error may be an issue for someone else wishing to keep their server.
