Can happen Rick, the same hear... that's why checking and rechecking of
documentation is always fun....
Diane, I have to agree with Rick, that the problem can be related to
registration of DNS SRV records, it is advisable to check if all the SRV
and other records are all registered correctly in the _MSDCS zone or the
appropriate domain DNS zone.
What kind of records are you registering in DNS, domain & AtSite related
records, or only the AtSite records ("DnsAvoidRegisterRecords" reg key)?
Are you using a static port mapping for RPC based AD replication?

My apologies to Dennis Schut (Read NOT *Shutts*). I have a co-worker
Deb
Shutts, and apparently my fingers got ahead of my brain. But, that
happens
a bunch - regardless if it's here, a NG, or just in a document. :-)

Diane,
I have to agree that there is something going on here. Dennis Shutts
tried
to get the ADDiag scripts (if you haven't seen it - but I know you, you
likely have) to her to run on her system. It's the same tools that PSS
will
have you run on your system to gather all of the information necessary
to
diagnose this type of issue.
I suspect that there is a DNS problem as the SYSVOL share and the
NETLOGON
share will not be published until all conditions are correct. And, the
primary indicator is that failure in the NETDIAG log that you pointed
out.
Cindy, leave the FRS issues alone for a bit until the DNS problems are
resolved on all servers. It might be only one, or might be all of them.
Check your DNS and SYSTEM event logs.

Do you have all the necessary SRV records for this server in DNS? Your
Dcdiag run had this error:
test NetLogons
Starting test: Advertising
Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for
\\psdc1.police.lancco.pa.us, when we were trying to reach ECPDC.
Server is not responding or is not considered suitable.
......................... ECPDC failed
DsGetDcName is failing. I'd look at the SRV records in DNS to see if
that
is 100%. Another area to check is the time on the DC to see if it's
sync
with it's partners.

This is probably a silly question, but you have applied all of the
latest
SP's and hotfixes correct and this machine isn't sitting at like
SP1 or something? There are a ton of fixes for FRS out there. Other than
that I would be looking at DNS very carefully and also checking regular
replication (repadmin /showreps) to make sure that was working as well.

Subject: [ActiveDir] sysvol not replicating
Two days ago a consulting firm upgraded a BDC at a remote location to
Windows 2000. After the upgrade users had all types of trouble
connecting.
It seems the sysvol is not replicating because the
Do_Not_Remove_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory, Policies directory, and
Scripts
directory do not exist on the remote server in either the sysvol\domain
or
the sysvol\sysvol directory. The rest of AD seems to be replicating
fine.
Can I simply copy those directories from one of my DCs to the DC in the
remote location? Thanks
