RPC Server Unavailable

[Brad Higgins]

I have a native 2000 environment with 1 DC as the Primary
domain controller emulator role and with and active
directory integrated zone in DNS.

I have managed to upgrade another of my member servers to
domain controller but it didn't finish replicating the
domain across.

When I try to do a force replication I get an error RPC
Server unavaliable, and then points it to be a DNS issue.
My DNS zone file includes the _mcds, _tcp, _udp and _sites
folders and appears set up fine and is the only DNS server
in my new domain controllers NIC configuration.

Can anyone shed some light?

cheers

Brad

Are you ONLY using this DNS server in your IP properties of all your
machines? Using any external DNS in your IP properties will definitely cause
this behavior.
