Multiple Domain Controllers and one failed
Hi, I have three sites connected via Sonicwall VPN. Site A hosts 3 Domain Controllers (1 x 2008 and 2 x 2003). Site B and Site C, each have their own Domain Controller (each on 2003). All sites replicate to the same domain and forest. Recently, one of the original domain controllers in Site A went down and would not come back up. So I officially seized the FSMO roles onto one of the other domain controllers in Site A and removed the dead domain controller from the domain. All Site A and B domain controllers are working fine.
However, Site C domain controller will no longer replicate. I checked Sites and Services/NTDS settings and confirmed that Site C was automatically replicating to the dead domain controller. When trying to manually replicate I get the below error. I also went into properties and can change to an active domain controller in site a but still get the same error. Unfortunately, this is has been an issue for over 30 days now.
Is there another way to reconnect this domain controller to the site a domain controllers?

Correction, this issue has been over 60days now and I did a DCDIAG and got the below. In addition, Site B does not replicate with Site C, both Site B and Site C replicate directly to SITE A only. Also, Site C does not that the FSMO roles have been changed because I did that with SITE A after the original DC died. I am afraid to make changes like that to Site C because I am not sure what that will do to Site A when they replicate.

theres not a lot you can do other then remove then demote the DC and promote back to a DC, it should work as long as theres nothing unique on the server, i.e. exchange or something, what services do run on the server.

I verified that the server can ping the FDQN of the domain controllers in SITE A. I made sure the local nic card has the SITEA domain controllers/dns listed as DNS servers and verified that the DNS forwarding on the DNS server is also pointed to the domain controllers. I am waiting for the last user to leave the office for the reboot. The server roles are: AD, DHCP, DNS, File Share and DFSshare (syncing files with the file server/domain controller in SITE A). That is all, this SITE C domain contoller has NO WINS, Exchange, SQL, etc. Does the DFSsharing rely on the server being a domain controller or does it not care?
That said, if I run dcpromo on the SITE C domain controller to demote, reboot, and rerun dcpromo to promote back, will that have any problems since I assume the Site A domain controllers will not know it was demoted?
Thanks for all the responses so far.

Ok, thanks. Trying the the demote process now as the reboot did not resolve. Will the demote process affect the dfs sharing? I know that since the issue began, the dfs sharing has stopped as well.
unsure, i have setup dfs on non domain controllers, but you have to remember that this server is not being seen by any of the other servers as a DC so it can not communicate the DFS stuff to the other servers until it rejoins the domain.

Thanks everyone! It worked. AD is back online. Unfortunately, I have to readd the 5 computers back to the domain in this office because they lost the trust relationship with the domain but I am almost done so it is all good.
if they seem correct point the controllers DNS settings to the main controller at site A and reboot, then try to configure site replication.
