Question

8457 The destination server is currently rejecting replication requests.

Asked by: jsulliva1957

One of my DC's has been offline for a few days, and after rerconnecting to the network, will not replicate with the other DC's on the domain.

I have run repadmin /showreps and I get and error:

"Can't retrieve message string 8456 (0x2108), error 1815"

The Directory Service Event Viewer displays an EventID: 1925
Description:
The attempt to establish a replication link for the following writable directory partition failed.

Additional Data
Error value:
8457 The destination server is currently rejecting replication requests.


I am pretty sure that this has occurred becuase of the offline time. Can any expert help me get this DC to successfully replicate again without having to do something drastic, like dcpromo.

Found the solution.

For others who come across this this is what happened.

1.. I ran a dcdiag on the offending dc02. It showed the error and suggested that I run 2 commands:

repadmin /options dc02 -disable_inbound_repl

repadmin /options dc02 -disable_outbound_repl

Once this was done I ran repadmin /showreps and it informed that all was now OK.
I then checked the Directory Service Event viewer and all previous warning events stopped occurring and were replaced by information events.

Worked for me I just had one more step that I needed to go through. Under the active directory sites and services I had to goto all tasks -> check replication topology and that stopped the errors and allowed replications to start flowing again.
