DC Not replicating after being shutdown for a while

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

You will probably need to use Netdom to reset the secure channel between
this DC and the other ones. Most likely the computer account is now out of
date. What errors do you get during replication?

I get the error 1126 and 1311 in my event viewer in the Directory services tab.

If you have reach tombstone lifetime without replicating
(60 days) then the DC should NEVER again be replicated
and will refuse to do so.

You are likely best off doing what I term a "DCPromo cycle":
DCPromo to non-DC, then (optionally) DCPromo back to a
(new) DC.

You will likely need to use the DCPromo /ForceRemoval switch,
and afterward perform an NTDSUtil "metadata cleanup".


NTDS metadata cleanup

Search Google for:

[ NTDS "metadata cleanup" remove DC Domain ]

No need to add either site:microsoft.com OR microsoft:
since the NTDS and other terms make it Microsoft specific
by itself.

Unless you WISH to restrict answers to the site:microsoft.com
for some reason.

[ NTDS "metadata cleanup" remove DC Domain site:microsoft.com ]

Key points to NOTE when doing the metadata cleanup:

You CONNECT to a WORKING DC.
You SELECT the missing/dead DC or DOMAIN

'Connect' and 'Select' are technical terms in this context.
