Re: Sites and Services

What do the Event Logs state? Have you run repadmin?

Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.

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 /e /c /v /s:DC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt

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.

I have a site with 5 DC's and 2 GC's. The GC's are on opposite sides of
the
router and both support WINS. Two weeks ago we had an environmental power
failure that depleted the APC batteries. This outage was on a Sunday
morning
and the APC software did not shut down the servers (as it was supposed
to).
After bringing the servers back online and running preliminary hardware
checks we found that the AD is corrupted. The PDC emulator is no longer
able
to see other servers for a "New Connection". Additionally, the problem
seems
to have snow-balled at this point. Initially we were seeing replication
links with the GUID next to the server name but it was still not
replicating
(Event ID 1030 & 1097). Now the servers are not replicating at all and I
can
no longer configure server links. The NETDIAG test on each machine shows
that there are no failures aside from the "Event Log" errors.

At this point I cannot get replication started or completed. I have tried
rebuilding the SYSVOL according to one of the MS KB articles. This has
not
worked either. So I am seeking advice as to the cause of these problems
and
possible solutions.

Thanks in advance.
