What is DC01? Is it still active?
If they are on different sites is there good communication between the sites?
Are they both DNS servers?

HI,
Replication can break due to various reasons like name resolution etc. Now, if two DCs do not replicate with each other for more than 30 days, the chances are there that the two machines are not able to access each other. As, every windows based machine changes its machine account's password every 30 days. If its not replicating with other DCs, this password will not replicate with them and hence will result in this situation.
Resolution:
Just follow this article and run NetDom command as specified in this:

IMP: You have to do this on PDC first in its own context. Then do it on the other server with PDC's context. So, run this command on both servers (but first on PDC).
Netdom /resetpwd /server:PDC_NAME /Userd:Domain\user_name /passwordd:"password"
