Windows 2000 Replication Issue (Error ID 1311) & (Endpoint Mapper)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I am hoping that someone can help me out here as I am in a spot of
bother! :o)

I am consultant that has to go to a company next week because they are
getting an error in their Windows 2000 Replication Monitor:

'Replication Failure: The reason is: There are no more endpoints
available from the endpoint mapper'

That is not all; when I go to the Directory Service Event viewer I get
this error as well:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTDS KCC
Event Category: (1)
Event ID: 1311
Date: 14-9-2005
Time: 16:05:37
User: N/A
Computer: IBADC00
Description:
The description for Event ID (1311) in Source ( NTDS KCC ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: DC=UPP,DC=XXX.

So as you can imagine, down the right left hand side, I have three
servers that have a red 'X' on them and the rest are ok.

The first thing that I did was I researched the 'Endpoint Mapper'
problem, I was directed to this site:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839880

I can already tell you at this stage that the correct entries are in
the registry and that Port 135 is listening.

Then after not having much success with that I moved to research the
'1311' problem.

There were several discussion groups about this error, but none that I
fell can solve my problem.

I also tried this site, but even though it said that it was for
'Troubleshooting error 1311, it does not have the same error as I do.
Even if I did, I don't understand it too well. You see the other
error messages don't have "The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages
from a remote computer"

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q214745

My real problem is that because of the two separate errors, I am not
sure if the problem is RPC or KCC!

I also checked this site:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=244368

And found nothing of much use.

To be 100% sure about what I am doing I have read this site:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199174/en-us

But before you start, I am guessing that I have to do the following:


1 - Verify that DNS is working by going to the main DC and typing:

(NSLookup [FQDN of the DC in remote site, e.g. dc3.domain.local])


2 - Check whether Time Service is synchronizing on the problematic
servers

Could someone please be so kind as to help me out here and tell me what
the problem is? I would greatly appreciate it
