Error -659

I have had IPrint working on my new 6.5 network for a couple of weeks now
and had been updating printers using IPrint RPM Configuration for NDPS
Printers. I have been turning this feature on and off as need when I want
to install printers to new clients. Works great but I just tried to turn
it off by checking the "do not update worstations" box as I have
previously. It gave me an error "NDS Error -659 Time synchronization
services has detected a problem with an operation attempting to modify
replica information."
What is the problem? I have run DSREPAIR without any errors and Timesync
on servers looks good.

Did you check replica synchronization in dsrepair?

I ran a DSREPAIR Unattended and received NO ERRORS.
I ran the report sync status and timesync check and received the following...

What server has Master of [ROOT]?
Are the 8.85's NetWare 5.1? Do they have Read/Write replicas?

What is on IS2? According to replica status, it has the most recent timestamp, meaning some kind of DS operation took place there, and it apparently has some difficulty keeping in timesync.

Yes, they are Netware 5.1. I want to upgrade to the same NDS as the 6.5 servers have but I am not sure how.
Here are the timesync files from the server above that has +7 and NO. The COUGAR-1 file is listed below also.
I see the other servers have a line that reads "TIME SOURCE = 10.34.9.2".
The IS2 server does not have this line. Should it? The COUGAR-1 server
is the MASTER Replica and Time Source. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks again. Adding that line to the other two servers that did not have it worked great.
No more errors when performing RPM Config changes.
