Re: Active directory replication problems

Would it be beneficial to run dcpromo to upgrade the Windows 2000 BDC to PDC
and downgrade the SBS 2003 from PDC to BDC then reverse the process?

By the way...AD replication problems started when I reinstalled the server
tools and Exchange.

Hi,
I have SBS 2003 as the PDC and 2000 as a domain controller in another
site. I've been having AD replication problems. I checked DNS and it
seems to be configured properly. I used DNSLint and didn't find any
problems with name resolution. Is there a way can repair AD without havin
to reinstall SBS 2003? Is there a utility that I can run to do more
troublshooting.

In the event log, there are some entries...

1722 The RPC server is unavailable - I can telnet on port 135...I can do a
net view \\<servername> successfully

Internal event: Active Directory could not synchronize the following
directory partition with the domain controller at the following network
address.
Directory partition:
DC=mbiri,DC=com
Network address:
d8055eba-fec9-4050-b114-38f977a2022e._msdcs.<domain>.com

Any ideas will be great

Thanks in advance

J
