Question
Replication Issue: The target principal name is incorrect
Hi experts,
A while back, I set up a 2K3 machine in anticipation of a new branch opening - the opening date got moved a few months back and now when I started it up after a few months being shut down, I am having replication problems. Everything was working before I shut it down. The new office is in a different site. Specifically, when I try a manual replicate in AD sites and services from any server in the first site I get the error message, "The following error occurred during the attempt to contact the domain controller Server01. The target principal name is incorrect". As well, when I enter the UNC path to any other machine, I get this error, " Logon failure: the target account name is incorrect". I thought the problem might have occurred because of the daylight savings change - but even after I installed the patch the same problems occurred. I only have one domain in total - no child domains. The event viewer is filled to the brim with KCC and Kerbios errors - specifically, " 1865", "1311", "1566". I can ping the other machines fine, even put their IP address in place of UNC and I will get a share listing of the remote computer.
I ran a dcdiag on it and got these results:

there are supposedly ways to bring this back up but they are long and complex and i do not know them
You ned to remove AD from that Server DCPROMO /Forceremoval and then run a metadata cleanup on your domain
http://www.petri.co.il/del
http://support.microsoft.c
Then you can re add it
According to this article (http://groups.google.ca/g
60 days is the limit.
No that isn't necessary - I will lookup my notes but I had a similar situation last month and it was fairly easy to resolve. Does the file directory on either server have several Gigs of information to sync? Let me take a look at my notes on my resolution from last month and I'll give you an answer - it was fairly simple but does require doing some registry editing.
maestropsm,
The AD database is very small - only about 50 computers and a few more user accounts.
I looked at the "dcdiag" log and it indicated that the "tombstone" life had been exceeded:
"WARNING: This latency is over the Tombstone Lifetime of 60 days!"
Jay_Jay70,
After uninstalling AD from the server, for stability issues (and since I haven't worked with this server yet), is it better to reformat the server?
I am not really that interested in increasing the "tombstone" life - like you said, doing it that way seems to be more complicated than it needs to be.
But, will depromotion and repromotion fix the UNC issues as well?
Thanks,
Max
OK I found the article you would need to follow - depends on how confortable you are following these knds of articles. http://support.microsoft.c
If you want to make your life simple - yes I would just rebuild the system - but you will need to go in to the replication parent and remove it from the directory you are replicating to and the delete the computer object from active directory. But hey - getting it fixed the hard way is sometimes good experience in case it happens to a more critical system in the future.
If you haven't already done so I would download a tool from Microsoft called FRSDiag. I opened a case months ago with Microsoft and they had to reimburse me becasue they were no help. Using the FRSDiag I was able to trace the problem to it's source and solution.
I don't think the Depromotion Repromotion would do anything about your replication since it's linked to a parent directory structure in AD.

how long did you leave the machine off for.....AD cannot deal with being left out for more than 60 days (may have increased cannot remember)
