Greetings,

A few weeks ago my event viewer began to log many NTDS General & NTDS Replication errors. I've spent a few hours scouring Google and Microsoft Knowledge Base but unable to find anything. I've run out of ideas of what to configure to fix this problem, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Below are more specific error details.

Thank you guys.


I've ran DCDiag and here are a list of failed tests:

how many domain controllers are there? Is there a firewall between the domain controllers? Just at a first glance, your problem Domain Controller cannot find your Domain Controller which has the PDC emulator role.
