Noah, Pardon my confusion. I'm trying to get my mind around the problem that you're experiencing, but something didn't quite make sense.
If there is one server per site, were there two servers in a site, and that is what prompted the move? Also, DNS - is there DNS on each server? Is there an A record for the server with the other missing records? Now, on to somethings that might assist in finding the problem: I suspect that there is no site link defined for the site in which the DC that you moved is now located. If there is no site link object, then the Inter-Site Topology Generator will not have sufficient information in which to replicate with the DC in the 'foreign' site. The site that the server WAS in DID have a link, and the local replication (intra-site) worked fine between the two servers. Moving it to another site with no site link object created a situation where the KCC cannot complete the spanning tree. Solving this.... Basically, what they are talking about in option A is to open up AD Sites and Services and create the proper site links from source to destination. By default, there is a DEFAULTSITELINK object (yeah, great name) in the IP under Inter Site Transports. And, in this would be the Default-First-Site-Name (again, great name). If you confirm that you have complete coverage of the link topology (enough for the KCC to create the entire spanning tree) the erros will resolve and the replication topology will be restored.
