DC Replication problem

[whoisthat]

Hi All,

I have 3 DC all running WIN2K. I’ve been having problem getting the servers to replicate…seems like the replication links are broken. I tried to force replication between these servers and I got various error messages like:

“The following error occurred during the attempt to contact the domain controllers. The target principal name is incorrect” or “The following error occurred during the attempt to synchronize the domain controllers. The naming context is in the process of being removed or is in t replicated from the specified server”

I’m not sure where to start trouble-shooting the issue. I need some assistance and pointers as to where I should start to find out the problem and ultimately to resolve this replication problem.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Henry

try running dcdiag and netdiag and see if the output tells you what might be wrong.
