a has DNS installed, and is pointing to itself under tcp/ip
properties, from there the DNS server has forwarding turn on.
b has no DNS installed and is pointing to a for DNS resolutions.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1053
Date: 8/14/2005
Time: 12:30:00 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: B
Description:
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (There are no more
endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NTDS Replication
Event Category: Replication
Event ID: 1586
Date: 8/13/2005
Time: 4:22:32 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: B
Description:
The Windows NT 4.0 or earlier replication checkpoint with the PDC emulator
master was unsuccessful.
A full synchronization of the security accounts manager (SAM) database to
domain controllers running Windows NT 4.0 and earlier might take place if
the PDC emulator master role is transferred to the local domain controller
before the next successful checkpoint.
The checkpoint process will be tried again in four hours.
Additional Data
Error value:
1753 There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTDS Replication
Event Category: Replication
Event ID: 1864
Date: 8/13/2005
Time: 7:01:54 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: A
Description:
This is the replication status for the following directory partition on the
local domain controller.
Directory partition:
CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=abc,DC=com
The local domain controller has not recently received replication
information from a number of domain controllers. The count of domain
controllers is shown, divided into the following intervals.
More than 24 hours:
1
More than a week:
1
More than one month:
1
More than two months:
1
More than a tombstone lifetime:
1
Tombstone lifetime (days):
60
Domain controllers that do not replicate in a timely manner may encounter
errors. It may miss password changes and be unable to authenticate. A DC
that has not replicated in a tombstone lifetime may have missed the deletion
of some objects, and may be automatically blocked from future replication
until it is reconciled.
To identify the domain controllers by name, install the support tools
included on the installation CD and run dcdiag.exe.
You can also use the support tool repadmin.exe to display the replication
latencies of the domain controllers in the forest. The command is
"repadmin /showvector /latency <partition-dn>".
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NTDS Replication
Event Category: Replication
Event ID: 2092
Date: 8/13/2005
Time: 7:01:54 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: A
Description:
This server is the owner of the following FSMO role, but does not consider
it valid. For the partition which contains the FSMO, this server has not
replicated successfully with any of its partners since this server has been
restarted. Replication errors are preventing validation of this role.
Operations which require contacting a FSMO operation master will fail until
this condition is corrected.
FSMO Role: DC=abc,DC=com
User Action:
1. Initial synchronization is the first early replications done by a system
as it is starting. A failure to initially synchronize may explain why a FSMO
role cannot be validated. This process is explained in KB article 305476.
2. This server has one or more replication partners, and replication is
failing for all of these partners. Use the command repadmin /showrepl to
display the replication errors. Correct the error in question. For example
there maybe problems with IP connectivity, DNS name resolution, or security
authentication that are preventing successful replication.
3. In the rare event that all replication partners being down is an expected
occurance, perhaps because of maintenance or a disaster recovery, you can
force the role to be validated. This can be done by using NTDSUTIL.EXE to
seize the role to the same server. This may be done using the steps provided
in KB articles 255504 and 324801 on http://support.microsoft.com.
The following operations may be impacted:
Schema: You will no longer be able to modify the schema for this forest.
Domain Naming: You will no longer be able to add or remove domains from this
forest.
PDC: You will no longer be able to perform primary domain controller
operations, such as Group Policy updates and password resets for non-Active
Directory accounts.
RID: You will not be able to allocation new security identifiers for new
user accounts, computer accounts or security groups.
Infrastructure: Cross-domain name references, such as universal group
memberships, will not be updated properly if their target object is moved or
renamed.
