That always confuses me.... will follow this KB and 'hopefully' this
will solve my problem.

Thanks, Kevin!!

The old server was a domain controller, right? If so, then SBS AD
replication is not fundamentally different than any other.

Make sure you have verified good backups (more than one, preferably SBS
wizard backups) and very carefully follow ntdsutil operation as it very
unforgiving and easy to make a critical mistake.

Event ID 1864

I have a new SBS server in place and migrated from the old. The old
server is offline and OFF and all is well....except...

I thought I had done everything needed to promote the new server
and I cannot find anything still looking for (or any reference to)
the old server, but i continue to get daily errors in the event log
re: NTDS Replication -- not being able to obtain replication info
from the old server.
How can i tell it to stop looking? What could be left that's causing
this?
Any help would be appreciated..i've been ignoring the errors, but
finally getting tired of seeing them!
Thanks in advance,
Susan

Sounds like an FRS replication partner 'remnant'. See the following
