AD problem in Windows 2003.
Q. How do you force replication between DCs that are all listed in Sites and Services, but only partial lists in each DC's NTDS i.e. no one DC's NTDS listing has all of the DCs listed, but there are at least 2 DCs listed in each NTDS as replication partners.
I have 4 DCs (DC1 and DC2) and 2 of them resolve DNS (NS1 and NS2)
i.e. in Sites and Services, under each DC's NTDS are listed the following:
DC1 <>NS2
DC2
DC2 <> DC1
NS1
NS1 <>DC2
NS2
NS2 <>DC1
NS1
Running replmon shows NS1 and DC1 are not replicating properly and NS2 and DC2 not replicating properly. Toplogy confirms this.
Trying command line: repadmin /syncall /force etc. gives the following error:
DsReplicaSync() failed with status 8452 (0x2104):
The naming context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated from the specified server.
Tried ntdsutil metadata cleanup but there was nothing to do
How does one fix this?
Thanks
