Re: Active Directory Replication Monitor can't open domaincontroller

Do you have any errors in the event logs of any of your child domain
controllers?

Are there any firewalls between the domains?

DNS issues?
From child and root dc's, from a command prompt try running
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"

Description and download of DNSLint

Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domains.

If you don't have the tools installed, install them from your server install
disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run dcdiag, netdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log (On each dc)
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt

**Note: Using the /E switch in dcdiag will run diagnostics against ALL dc's
in the forest. If you have significant numbers of DC's this test could
generate significant detail and take a long time. You also want to take
into account slow links to dc's will also add to the testing time.

If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run
(DCDiag and NetDiag). It also has the option to run individual tests
without having to learn all the switch options. The details will be output
in notepad text files that pop up automagically.

The script is located in the download section on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com

Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)

When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.

Hi everyone,

Hope someone knows what's going on...

Our setup:
1 root domain with 2 DC's incl. Global Catalog
4 Subdomains with every one of them one single DC+Global Catalog.
Forestlevel : 2003 navtive
Domanilevel: 2003 native

The thing is, once i open the Replication Monitor Tool and open one of my
root domaincontrollers, everything looks okay. Once i open a
domaincontroller in one of my subdomains, i receive an error message
indicating that "the server could not be found or your have insufficient
rights to read the status of that server".

I do have transitive trusts between the root domain and the subdomains,
for example: i can login with my root domain administrator account on all
subdomain servers.

Anyone here that can tell me what my problem is?

Many Regards,
Joris Kemperman
