logon scripts not replicating

[dktexas]

I have 3 sites with 2 domain controllers in each site:

When I change anything in active directory (add / delete
pcs, users) the replication occurs immediately.
However when I alter, add, delete logon scripts and then
initiate replication using the Sites and Services Manager
snap-in no replication takes place. That is between
sites. Within the site the replication does take place.

I used the DNSLint to troubleshoot active directory
replication. On the bridgehead DCs the follwoing message
is displayed once per day :



Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13508
Date: 09.12.2004
Time: 12:47:27
User: N/A
Computer: XX-DC1
Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling
replication from XX-DC0 to XX-DC1 for
c:\winnt\sysvol\domain using the DNS name XX-DC0.xyz.com.
FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this
warning.

[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS XX-DC0.xyz.com
from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on XX-DC0.xyz.com.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for
this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain
Controllers.


DNS works. And the FRS services are running on all DCs. I
can ping XX-DC0.xyz.com.

Any suggestions as to why the scripts are not replicated
between sites ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

If the scripts aren't replicating, NtFrs isn't fine.

Check the logs on both DCs manually - keep an eye out for JRNL_WRAP errors.

If intersite replication isn't working, look into the island problem on the
remote sites.

This is more than likely a DNS issue if they're not in a wrap state.

Post back with some more info. and we'll give you some additional pointers
;-)
