Log in locally to the server that is having the RPC Service problem. Go into services. Make sure the RPC is running. If it isn't restart it. If it is showing that it is running, stop and restart it.

hi,
i'm getting this error whilst trying to replicate a Server2k PDC to a new Server2008 SDC. This is a small branch/business.........on
the following error occured during the attempt to contact the domain controllers
"the RPC server is unavailable"
this condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem
Any help appreciated

To resolve the issue, I went to command prompt and ran ipconfig/flushdns on client machine. After doing this, I was able to remote into the server using Remote Desktop.
I was having this same issue. I could connect to the RD, and it would prompt for a password. About 20 seconds after putting in the password the RPC server message would appear and close. Like the solution says, it was simply a DNS issue.
