AD Replication error

[Guest]

Hello,
I've been dealing with a replication error between my only 2 DCs for 2 days,
and even though I read a lot of articles through the KB (including
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5171) I'm still unable to replicate
DC's.

Now the error when I force with "Replicate Now" says: "The following error
occurred during the attempt to synchronize the domain controllers: The naming
context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated from the
specified server."

Both DC's have a DNS as AD-integrated, the zone name is the domain name,
there is no mismatched namespace (there was but I fixed using KB 257623,)
SOA, NS, and A records are as the KB says it should be, and each DC is
pointing to its own DNS. What am I missing that I can't still replicate my
DC's?

I really appreciate your help.
Have a great day,

Jorge

Check for lingering objects, if you're using Strict replication it will stop
replication from the "bad" DC. Also check the NTDS settings object that you
have the correct DN in the serverReference attribute, otherwise FRS will not
run.

Do you have EventIDs that you can post?

Some tools that might help you track down the issue:
Netdiag
Dcdiag
Ntfrsutl
Sonar
Ultrasound

Is it also a GC?

Yes Jimmy, both are GC. I'm trying to demote PDC_SBCC to run the network only
with the other DC, but I don't want to do it before a successfully AD
synchronization.
