-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last error - port 42 TCP - is that something to be alarmed about.
DO i need to manually open port 42 both inbound and outbound on both the domain controllers

ENVIRONMENT
I have two domain controllers, windows 2012 r2.
no dfs name spaces

Running this command also shows no errors
repadmin /showrepl



Any help appreciated
