Domain controllers are not replicated

2 DC's:
1. SBS 2003
2. windows 2008 std R2 x64

The error logs are as follows
Following is the summary of warnings and errors encountered by File Replication Service while polling the Domain Controller DC2k8-pri.mydomain.local for FRS replica set configuration information.
 
 Could not bind to a Domain Controller. Will try again at next polling cycle.:

Very urgent please assist

Disable IPv6

Make sure both servers have the other server listed in their TCP\IP settings for DNS
DOes IPV6 has anything to do with that?

Dear dariusg, i hear you - but please understand:
We're in the middle of a LIVE migration from SBS 2003 to Exch 2010, and after the POC was successful, all of a sudden the exchange refuse to install himself with all sorts of errors from the DC.

In the meantime (after posting this question), we've installed a new (3rd) DC (win 2008 std x64), but the SBS sees the new DC as an invalid partner.

Your advice will be more than welcome here.

Many thx
Again check the time and date make sure they are all sync.

Seems like Windows 2008 Server is causing all the problems. You might need to reinstall the domain services
