SBS 2003 and Replication Errors with Remote DC



I'm running SBS 2003 Premium w/SP1 (not R2). I have created a remote branch
office DC running Windows 2003 Standard. The sites are linked with a
hardware VPN alliance at the remote site back to my SBS with ISA. The remote
site is using 192.168.1.* and the SBS is running the standard 192.168.16.*.
When I promoted the remote server using DC promo, everything went fine and I
rebooted. I have setup DNS on the remote office and created a new site,
subnets, intersite messaging and reverse DNS at the main site in SBS. I can
ping successfully in both directions.

The problem I'm having now is that it doesn't appear that replication is
occuring on the changes that I'm making to AD Users and Computers in the
branch office. DCPROMO did create the <automatically generated> links
between my three DCs (SBS and another W2003 server in my main office and my
remote W2003 server). However, the branch office DC replicates with the
additional DC in my main office and not my SBS, which was set this way by
DCPROMO. The standard DC shares were created by DCPROMO like SYSVOL and
NETLOGON.

I'm currently getting NTDS KCC 1272 entries in my Event Viewer that state
"The following directory partition is no longer replicated from the source
domain controller..."

Any help at resolving these replication issues would be greatly appreciated.
I did use Marina Roos' documents on the branch office server setups, which
was quite helpful.

Thanks.
