Re: problems with replication

You know, the more I look at this the more I'm thinking this maybe normal
behaviour. The result says cache. So I'm thinking maybe some of these older
entries are from severs that may have just died and been replaced along the
way hence the reason why they no longer being resoloved correctly.

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to get to the bottom of a few replication issues we are having
with our 2003 AD forest.

Here is a small extract from repadmin:

As you can see the entries without a site\server name are way out.

How can I find out what the GUID is referrign to?
How can I clean this up? Or maybe I don't have to do anything I don't know.
The results are different on each DC.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I would look over all the event logs to determine where to start. IF
this is indeed true that you have machines that have not replicated
since last year, I would be very careful in bringing any of these
machines back online if this is the case.

There is a free tool from http://www.joeware.net called adfind that
will give you information on all the computers in your AD.
You can then search for the GUID's above.

Good Luck
