Having issues with mixed Server OS's 2003 R2 and 2008 R2 with FRS Diag: The was working pretty well before. All servers were demoted except DC3 then brought back up over 3 day weeekend. All were working with no errors untill several days later, presumably afterl replications finally completed. Now its a mess. I cannot seem to get a fix on the cause(s). repadmin /showrepl shows everything replicating correctly. SPN's all appear to be correct. as well. Can anyone give me a clue on this one. I'm to close to itand tired and am beating my head against the wall out of frustration. DC2-3 are 2008 R2 all else are 2003 R2.
Thanks...

NTDS Replication 9/6/2010 1:02:36 PM Error 1645 Active Directory did not perform an authenticated remote procedure call (RPC) to another domain controller because the desired service principal name (SPN) for the destination domain controller is not registered on the Key Distribution Center (KDC) domain controller that resolves the SPN. Destination domain controller: 50ecd707-d579-41e0-b220-1ac48dfcba76._msdcs.domain.com SPN: E3514235-4B06-11D1-AB04-00C04FC2DCD2/50ecd707-d579-41e0-b220-1ac48dfcba76/domain.com@domain.com User Action Verify that the names of the destination domain controller and domain are correct. Also, verify that the SPN is registered on the KDC domain controller. If the destination domain controller has been recently promoted, it will be necessary for the local domain controller’s computer account data to replicate to the KDC before this computer can be authenticated.

Make one of the DC authoritative server by modifying registry setting : Navigate to registry HKLM\System\CCS\Services\N
Go to other DC and make that Non-authoritative by navigating to same registry location HKLM\System\CCS\Services\N
