Check the DNS Pointing in DSRM mode
run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon all DC you have

sarang, i appreciate your assistance, but i've already done a fair bit of due dilligence prior to posting this. i've gone through those articles already.
this is RODC related, getting "invalid username / password" even when running dcdiag /test:advertising

I really need someone to contribute that has experience with RODC deployments.

thx
Hi

I understand this but as a remote support we do gather primary test result ...This is something called step by step
The reason for asking above tests are to get onground scenario of the setup and Not only myself but other forum posters going through the things could also get a better picture  and provide you better assistance
looks like in order to log in i would need to run this command:
Repadmin /rodcpwdrepl RODC15 HUBDC12 CN=MikeDan,OU=DatacenterUsers,DC=contoso,DC=com CN= MikeDanLaptop,OU=DatacenterComputers,DC=contoso,DC=com

does anyone know the answers to the following questions re: RODC / server core
1. what should the "primary group" membership be? i.e. on rwdc it is domain controllers, what should it be for RODC's? currently the primary group is set to domain computers.
should i set this to "read-only domain controllers security group" as the primary?

2. what should the Security permissions be for domain n/c with reference to the enterprise read-only domain controllers security group?
