Re: Setting up SBS 2003 and Windows Server 2003, same domain, 2 sites..

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your update by mail.

I am sorry for that I input a incorrect character, the command should be
"repadmin /showreps" (no quotation marks)

Generally speaking, when checking the replication status for a specifiedDC,
we can run the following command to check the replication status:
repadmin /showreps [Computer_Name_Of_DC]

For example, if the domain controller is YourDCName.YourDomainName.com, we
may run the following command:
repadmin /showreps YourDCName.YourDomainName.com

More information:

0f-179f977d434a1033.mspx

I would like to suggest you try to replicate AD information in weekend to
see if the issue be fixed. The network condition indeed affects the time of
replication process, please book a off-work time to process. The time of
replication process depends on your network condition.

To the licensing issue, please let me know if you have configured the
licensing on the Windows 2003 DC properly. You can refer to the following
article to reconfigure:
327644 How to configure licensing on an additional Windows server in an SBS
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=327644

And also I suggest you take a look at the following article to see if it
helps.
How to reset the License Logging service in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=883399

For you also installed the Exchange 2003 server on the Windows 2003, you
need buy additionally Exchange 2003 server CALs to grant user accounts to
use mailboxes in the Exchange server, it is different with SBS 2003 CALs.
The problem should be lies in here. Please double check it.

For more detail information, I would like to suggest you contact our
License Office for help. The call is free.

You can call 1-800-426-9400 (select option 4), Monday through Friday, 6:00
A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (PST) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing
specialist. Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft

From your dcdiag information, I found the DNS information of the Windows
2003 is different with the SBS DNS. So we need set the SBS server box as
the preferred DNS to enforce DNS replication. You can check the KB article
for detail information. Please follow my suggestion to process and let me
know the result.

Thanks for your time.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the reply.

Do I HAVE to have the SBS server IP address as the DNS server for my
Windows server 2003 box? (I only ask as the WAN link between them is not
very reliable - would this be a problem at all?)

Thanks again.

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your information.

I. From your DCdiag log file, I find that it should be DNS replication
issue. For the windows 2003 server is an additional DC in the SBS domain
environment, the preferred DNS should be the internal IP address of the
SBS
server box rather than itself. It is IP reports should be as follows:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit
Ethernet
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-14-22-7B-41-E8
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.3.192
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.3.181
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.192 (no 192.168.3.192)
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.3.192

Then please force replication between two DC to replicate DNS information
and then please test to see if the issue is resolved.

For more detail information, you can refer to the following article:
Best practices for DNS client settings in Windows 2000 Server and in
Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825036

HOW TO: Troubleshoot Intra-Site Replication Failures
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=249256

If the issue persists, please help me collect the following information:

1. Run command "repladmin /showrepl" (no quotation marks) and give me the
log files. If you have not install Windows Support Tools, you will not

2. Please run the Winroute.exe tool on one Exchange 2003 Server in your
primary AG, and save the output as a file. For more info about how to use
Winroute.exe tool, please consult the following Knowledge Base article:

How to Use the WinRoute Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281382

3. Please enable SMTP logging on the exchange server in the branch
office,
reproduce the issue and mail me the log file for analyze.

Enable SMTP logging:

Open the properties page of the Default SMTP Vitual Server in Exchange
System Manager.
On the General tab, check the "Enable logging" box.
Click Properties, click the Advanced tab and check all the boxes on the
list.
Click OK twice.
Stop and restart the SMTP virtual server.
Try reproducing the issue.
Stop the SMTP virtual server.
