Meinolf,
some of those questions I will not be able to answer now. I have
started
this job 2 weeks ago and am still learning the environment and
configs. So
it is in trying to understand the configuration that I run dcdiag,
replmon,
checking event logs, etc and notice this error. But based on what I
know
there is no backup currently being done of AD. So I will take a look
at the
other domain controllers and make a decision as to what to do later. I
figured I may have to follow similar procedures as you suggested, but
i just
wanted other opinions before I go that route.
thanks
Nik

Hello Nik,

If a DC is over the tombstone lifetime, you have either replication
problems in your domain or the machine was disconnected/shutdown
longer then the shown 60 days.

So you have to demote the DC, cleanup AD database, AD sites and
services from it and promote it again. Sometimes it can be possible
to bring it back to replication according to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc757610(WS.10).aspx

To help you further we need more information about the complete
domain setup, amount of DCs and sites where they are located. Did you
have restored a DC after a crash before form an image or other not
supported backup for AD restore?

Best regards

Morning Guys,
Just a a quick check for any ideas on why this may be. I am

the
