File Replication Error

Hi All,
I'm getting this warning messages with event ID "13508" on my child domain Primary DC.
Server is having three roles on this dc  :PDC , RID, Infrastructure.
Root Doamin : Schema and Domain Role
GC enabled

Error Message:
Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      NtFrs
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      13508
Date:            6/1/2009
Time:            7:14:49 PM
User:            N/A
Computer:      PPGDC01
Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from PPGBPDC01 to PPGDC01 for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name ppgbpdc01.ppg.cementhai.com. FRS will keep retrying.
 Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
  [1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name ppgbpdc01.ppg.cementhai.com from this computer.
 [2] FRS is not running on ppgbpdc01.ppg.cementhai.com.
 [3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
  This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established.

Hi Datedman,
Thanks for ur comments, we dont have acees to the  child domain "npigroup.cementhai.com" on replication failed  and this problem exists past 2 -3 months..

I want to ensure that from "Root Domain" Cementhai.com and child domain dc (PPGDC01)  replication and DNS settings are proper.. if so i will ask the administrtaor of that child domain look in to the issue.

Pls let me know the steps i have to check from my root domain and the child domain ( PPG).

      
Hi Datedman,
I could see error in "repadmin " output on child domain dc ppgdc01 for the below servers,

Source: BP-PPB\PPGBPDC01
******* 131 CONSECUTIVE FAILURES since 2009-06-08 22:56:54
Last error: 8606 (0x219e):Can't retrieve message string 8606 (0x219e), error 1815.

Source: WS-PPB\PPGWSDC01
******* 133 CONSECUTIVE FAILURES since 2009-06-08 16:56:59
Last error: 8606 (0x219e):Can't retrieve message string 8606 (0x219e), error 1815.

I have checked the repadmin on that 2 servers "PPGBPDC01, PPGWSDC01" which seems fine to ppgdc01 , then i dont understand why it shows failure from PPGDC01.

I will attach the repadmin ouputs,
Look in the FRS event logs.
Repadmin outputs

Child domain Primary DC:PPGDC01 - having repadmin error to child domain dc's

Child domain Backup Dc's: ppgbpdc01,ppgwsdc01    --> No errors in repadmin

The root domain needs to delegate the child domain(s) to the correct server(s).

I'm guessing the servers for the main domain are not running Windows but this URL is generic.
Sorry those repadmin logs are wrapped and pretty tough to decipher besides the fact that i haven't ever used the program. :)  Check the FRS logs tho please...
hi Datedman,
I'm not clear with ur suggestions,

I'm guessing the servers for the main domain are not running Windows  ---> could u pls explain bcoz the root domain is running windows server 2003 only..

i have checked nslookup and ping requests from the server PPGDC01 its fine and no frs errors reported on the ppgbpdc01,ppgwsdc01 .
Error is only on PPGDC01.
