Ok so you may remeber me posting about having anew job and how bad AD is and what not.
Now here is a problem that I need serious quick help with. I'm not going to protect pride or crap like that, I don't know what I'm doing! Bad thing here is not only am I paid like crap but the real point is that I know the most out of EVERYONE here about AD
Here is the situation:
I brought up two new server yesterday (2003) and they seemed to enter the domain just fine, one of them was a replacement for a DC that went bad, I was able to remove and scrape it from the Domain just fine, its running with the same IP and name as the old one just different UID, thats no problem. However the second one that I brought up was completely new this one had a few problems I think I have them takent care of. The Huge problem with them is that they don't want to replicate, when I got ot sites and services and click the link and tell it to replicate now it gives me an error : The naming context is in the process of deletion or is not replicated from the specified server.
That makes me think that maybe some DNS/AD info has not propergated to the server that I'm trying to replicate with. Also the fact that at first the Computer/Server accounts were on that DC too. So I got a partial replication from the server that the new ones seemed to have registered with. so now I can see computer accounts in DNS, maybe it was only DNS info thats circulated and not AD The server (call it KMS) that the two I created (WTS1 and 2, 2 its the new one) has not replicated so long that now it will not because of the fact that its been longer than the toombstone life of objects. I tried setting the registry key to force it to do it anyway and its not working so I tried repadmin. I don't know the (common name is it?) format of AD I've dried but it's giving me the error:
Win32 Error 8419(0x20e3): The DSA object could not be found
Now I admit that I don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying. I'm trying to force an entire sync to this DC and have it send out any changes, also I think this DC (KMS) is also the GC holder, so I need to get that changed before I kill it or go nuts.
repadmin /replicate vms01_dns DC=sdsuper DC=local /force /full
Our Domain name is SDsuper.local
Name of the DC I'm trying to replicate with is VMS01
What are you suggestions for this problem, I'll proivde any other needed info.
What am I doing wrong with the repadmin command?
I know the administration side of AD I'd say I'm about junior / entry level of AD I admit this. Believe you me, I'd love to blow away this entire doman and start again but I can't even get them to buy a darned extra IDE controller for one server that had its primary chain killed by our dumb contractors, it would also be too confuing and too much work right now. I don't want to blow away KMS01 because it holds the GC I believe and think that would cause havoc with the domain, not to mention that I'd have to do the same for the WTS01 and 02 because it seems as thought the domain doesn't fully recgonize it, I can't replicate them to KMS because its refusing to replicate. I don't even know how they joined... HELP!
