Hi Brett,

1. Disconnect any mapped drives that might already exist between the two DCs
and then try and connect. If it still fails to connect open the command
line on both DCs and type the following command:

       net share <enter>

2. Verify both DCs list the IPC$ share in the output. If the ADMIN shares
are not listed then make sure "AutoShareServer" is not under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and
"AutoShareWks" is not under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters. If these
are present, delete them and reboot. After the reboot verify they do not
get added back into the registry.

3. If the IPC$ shares do exist then verify you can connect to the other DC's
IPC$ by typing the following command:

       net use \\dcname\ipc$

4. See if the CrashOnAuditFail is enabled on either DC. If the value is 2
on either system do the following:
a. Save and clear the Security log.
b. Delete the CrashOnAuditFail value, recreate the REG_DWORD value and set
it to 0 or 1
c. Reboot.
