PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and other DCs also have some of the names registered.

I got these results on both servers when I ran netdiag.
Server A reports in its event viewer file replication service logs:

Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from Server B to Server A for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name ServerB.domain.local. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name FINANCIAL.Pooleinc.local from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on FINANCIAL.Pooleinc.local.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established.

I get more of the event IDs 13508 than event ID 13516.
What I have done to date:
1. confirmed file replication service is running on both DCs
2. ran netdiag on both DCs - the results for netdiag are at the top of this message.
3. check AD sites and server. Was able to initiate replication from wthin this environment successfully.
4. Confirmed the schedules of both DCs and they do match.
5. Sites and services, NTDS Settings, each server is set up to replcilate from/to the other DC
6. both machines are running w2k3 sp2
thanks in advance.

If DNS fails at first, then AD fails at first, which means FRS fails at first
not sure what you mean by this.
thanks
not sure what you mean by this.
thanks
It means all these services are dependent upon each other and the order of succession to make sure the services run is DNS, AD, FRS. DNS must be running, so if it's not, make it run. Once that's done, run AD. Once that's run, run FRS. By run, I mean start the service. If one fails, troubleshoot that one. I think making the DNS change listed above with fix all the issues. Try it and let me know!

discovered that one DC was actually upgraded (2) - before my time - and there are legacy policies and settings that need to be identified, tested and removed.
