Replication Problems & DC Server Name Showing Twice in Repadmin / Showutdvec?!
Our school district has two DC’s running Windows 2003. The fileserver has the FSMO roles, and has DNS. The emailserver is running Exchange 2007. We had a Sysvol problem on the fileserver early this week. (It was empty and not shared anymore.) I must admit that I panicked, and did an authoritative restore of the sysvol before investigating other options. Everything seemed okay. Until I noticed that the DC’s were not replicating. I get the Event ID: 4 about "the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than on the target server."
Furthermore, the fileserver has all the staff files which My Documents is redirected to. Throughout the day people would complain that they lost contact with their files and would get an error that the fileserver is unavaible. Restarting the computer and logging on again usually helped solve that.
The fileserver still has group policies, but when I check the group policies on the emailserver I get “domain controller for group policy operations is not available” message.
The strangest part is that I did a repadmin / showutdvec and got these results:
On the emailserver:
Default-First-Site\Fileser
Default-First-Site\Emailse
On the Fileserver
Default-First-Site\Fileser
Default-First-Site\Fileser
Default-First-Site\Emailse
Why do I have “Default-First-Site\Filese
I am thinking that ain’t right and causing my problems. But, how do I fix it??
Attached are the results from a dcdiag on both servers. Hopefully this might help in solving my problem.
Thank you in advance.

Will this fix the problem with having fileserver listed twice in the fileserver's up-to-dateness vector USN list? I was going to attempt this yesterday, but when I saw the results of my repadmin / showutdvec I didn't want to attempt it until I knew for sure.
