You can use this procedure to modify the amount of disk space that is allocated to the staging folder in SYSVOL. If space is available on the volume, you can increase the quota that is allocated to the staging folder to improve SYSVOL replication efficiency. For more information, see Optimize the size of staging folders.

Membership in Domain Admins, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
