Domain controller not appearing in DNS on any server but itself?

  • 772

I have a site with a DC I want to decommission, and a relatively new one (promo'd within the last two weeks). I'm having trouble demoting the old server, and in the process of trying to figure out why I'm running repadmin /replsum on a few of my DCs.

On most of them, I'm getting the error:

Experienced the following operational errors trying to retrieve replication information:

58 - c7908eb4-5ef4-46a7-b445-642b33ece726._msdcs.domain.com

I've looked around in DNS on the rest of my DCs looking for this listing, and I finally found it on my new DC mentioned above, and it refers to itself! So every other DC appears not to know about this DC, at least from a DNS perspective, but running repadmin /replsum on my new DC does not return any errors.

Why would this be happening, and what's the best way to correct it?

    Eventually they all just figured it out, I guess. I took a look a few days later and the relevant DNS entries existed and I'm no longer getting any errors running repadmin.
