Server 2008 DFS Replication Issues

772

I have two domain controllers on my network, win2k8dc1 and win2k8dc2.

I am running into event log errors that DFS replication is not able to communicate with the replication partner. This event is logged on DC2:

The DFS Replication service failed to communicate with partner WIN2K8DC1 for replication group Domain System Volume. The partner did not recognize the connection or the replication group configuration.
Partner DNS Address: WIN2K8DC1.JEWELS.LOCAL Optional data if available: Partner WINS Address: WIN2K8DC1 Partner IP Address: 192.168.1.254 The service will retry the connection periodically. Additional Information: Error: 9026 (The connection is invalid) Connection ID: F26BEC3F-1EB7-4002-BE66-6204485CDC8C Replication Group ID: E0260157-9085-41F7-8912-F1A02026A0A5

These errors are not being generated on DC1. Both machines are able to ping by ip, fqdn, and a records.

Active directory seems to replicate perfectly fine. If an object or ou is created on one server it is replicated to the second. DNS replication seems to be fine as well.

Running DCDIAG I received the following errors:

Starting test: DFSREvent

......................... WIN2K8DC1 failed test DFSREvent

I checked the attributes for domain controller: msDFSR-ComputerReferenceBL. Each DC has a value where the CN equals itself. The msDFSR-MemberReferenceBL value is null. I can not manually edit either of these two values.

Another error in the DCDIAG output is the NCSecDesc test, which when researched said to ignore if I do not use RODC. Both servers fail this test.

Both servers have a DCOM error reporting that DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer using any configured protocols. I can ping the IPs of out forwarders however..

All DNS test results PASSED with dcdiag.

The dcdiag attributes that I ran are: dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:win2k8dc1 > c:\dcdiag.txt and the same on win2k8dc2.

FRSDiag utility returned the following error on DC1:

Checking for errors in debug logs ...

    Found 8 ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error(s)! Latest ones (up to 3) listed above

 ......... failed with 8 error entries

When trying to run FRSDiag from DC1 against DC2 I get the following error:

   Processing ntfrsutl ds....NTFRSUTL ERROR - Cannot RPC to computer, win2k8dc2; 000006d9 (1753)... Make sure you are logged on as a Domain Admin! Skipping!

I am starting to getting stumped, as this is getting over my head. Wanted to check here before I proceed with the next step and contact the MS AD tech support..

Additions: UAC is off. No firewall is on either server. The functionality level is windows server 2008.

Regarding FRS for SYSVOL replication - was this domain upgraded from 2003? SYSVOL may still be using FRS for replication unless you migrated it to DFS-R replication post-upgrade.

You can use the SYSVOL Replication Migration Guide to move it from FRS to DFS-R

Regarding the firewall, just because they are on the same local network, the local windows firewall may be blocking connection as well.
