We have two AD Controllers KOS and RHODOS. Due to migration of our VmWare ESXi servers
From 4.1 to 5.1 we moved RHODOS to Vmware EXI 5.1 and get the following errors on rhodos :
       
       
repadmin /replsummary /sort:delta  
netdom query /domain:wegaworld.local fsmo

Open in new window

     
	Experienced the following operational errors tryping to retrieve replication information
	58 - kos.wegaworld.local

Open in new window

     

Any Suggestions ?

need to check couple of things

1) check if any Firewall is not blocking
2) check if DNS entry is correct on new server

if both are fine then check it out this link

well it was a clone and I moved the vm, not copied it.. so i think its not a firewall or dns problem or ?... maybe some windows updates...

repadmin /replsum nearly the same

can you explain in detail how you moved

From 4.1 to 5.1 we moved RHODOS to Vmware EXI 5.1

I do  not really understand, but I inserted in the hosts file an entry of
the server the replysummy has an error

192.x.x.x     kos.wegaworld.local

How I moved :
I simply used a tool ... Trilead software to replicate the VM

and then on the new ESX i told the vSphere that I moved the machine.

what do you think ... fixed ??
check replication after a few hours (4 hours)

any event log errors appearing?
what ist an appropriate check ?
dcdiag /test:dns
repadmin /replsummary /sort:delta
Yes it is, but you will see after 4 hours, if you have no continued rteplication errors.

We always like to wait, doublecheck and check afterwards, if everything is replicating ok.

fixed because we have two internet providers and on this server the wrong external dns servers are specified

only three warnings now ...
