Andrei,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have done what you suggested and
came up with an interesting result. The FSMO role holder (
rtpc_server.tonkin.com ) is the server that I do the vast majority of AD
changes/maintainance from. I ran REPLMON from rtpc_server and it came back
with no problems, other than the 2 child domains not replicating properly.
This, however, has been going on since day one and never had a problem. I
then decided to connect to one of the site DCs and try it from there, with
some interesting results.
My site DCs cannot access the directory. THis is the best I can determine.
When trying to launch AD Users and Computers from another DC i get the
following error:
Naming information could not be found for the following reasons:
The serach failed to retreive attributes from the database.
Running netsh dhcp show server from any DC other than RTPC_SERVER results in
0 DHCP servers found in DS. However, if i run it from RTPC_SERVER all looks
fine. Now it is definatly looking like a replication issue. Any further
suggestions or KB's that i could find helpful? I'm dying here!
Thanks,
Justin
