FRS DIAG ISSUES

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...

Make sure all DCs are pointing to internal DNS servers only in their TCP\IP settings.

The burflag method is an option.

Stopped NTFRS service on both DCs.
Make one of the DC authoritative server by modifying registry setting : Navigate to registry HKLM\System\CCS\Services\NTFRS\Parameters\CumlativeReplicaSets and Set the Burflags value to D4. This should be done with server which has the Updated information available or correct data.
Go to other DC and make that Non-authoritative by navigating to same registry location HKLM\System\CCS\Services\NTFRS\Parameters\CumlativeReplicaSets and Set the Burflags value to D2.

Now to make sure your talking teh same lingo. Your talking,  point Preferred DNS server to self correct? Which I am already doing.
Yes.

Run dcdiag

I have run DCDIAG on all of them. All passing, with the exception of systemlogs, which is not abnormal really and DC3 not passing Advertising.
DC03 is not passing what advertising Time? Or could be that DC3 is not advertising as a DC as well.

You can clear your syslogs to see if new ones populate

You are passing everything. Are you getting new errors in the Event logs?

No, I'm just getting the errors in FRSDIAG. I did find that there were a couple of DNS issues, minor though. No Zone transfers betwwen DNS Servers. Also a slightly off DHCP Setting. But no others reaslly. Waiting for a bit before I rerun FRSDIAG again.

Still even after fixing what seemed very minor, FRSDIAG has not change. I still have the issues above.
What errors are you gettingin FRSDIAG. Run repadmin /syncall.

I get no errors on it, from any dc.
Looks like you are ok there was an issue in the pass but I don't see any current issues FRSDIAG looks at your logs which can be very old logs.

ok, so what can I do to see if they are passing now? Do I need to delete all my logs the rerun FRS?

I still get a 13508 on DC1, 1791 and 1311 on DC3 and 5832 on DC5, DC2 and DC4 pass
You might are going to have to demote DC3 then repromote

I'll have to try that, but it will be next week before I can attempt it.
Once you demote run metadata cleanup to make sure you don't have any lingering objects

ASKER

ok after trying to clean a tad more up.

DC1 - 1 error, 13508.
DC2 - 4 errors, 13508 and 1791 which points at replication on DC5.
DC3 - passes
DC4 - passes
DC5 - 70 errors, 5832 access denied to DC3.

I have tried in site and services to deleted and let it rebuild the link which it does but seems to be no help.
After looking at these errors do you still think DC3 needs rebuilt, sices it passes? I would think there are other things to do?

Shouldnt that be Stop NTFRS on ALL DCs? make one of the passing DCs a burflag D4, then all others D2?
Just the ones you are going to place the burflag in

I must mis-understand then how the burflag works. I had thought that by setting D4 on the one that it would affect ALL DCs, not just the one with D2.
