Thanks all for the info. I have the exact same error messages (1265 and
5781) with the same scenario. I have 1 Global Catalog server and 1
additional DC. They both point to same DNS server (another W2K DNS server)
in their IP properties. They both can ping each other by names and it
returned the FQDN just fine. However, when I make a change (user account,
logon script, etc..) on the DC, it does not replicate to the Global Catalog
server with the same errors of listed above. Do the DC servers must run
it's own DNS service? If so, the article (id=300202) you listed notes that
DC servers should "not" point to itself for DNS, if this is true, then my
"current" scenario applies because they both point to another DNS server,
but it's not working right because of problems mentioned. Any advice is
greatly appreciated. Please help to explain clearly as I'm very novice in
terms of DNS.

Regards.
