Hi Russ, This occurs if the following situation exists: The LEX contains a DC for the partition DC=coopcam,DC=com, but that DC is not a bridgehead.Other DCs from other domains in the site LEX are bridgeheads but cannot replicate the partition. So one of the DCs in the site LEX with the writable partition DC=coopcam,DC=com is used and because its not a preferred bridgehead the error is reported in the eventlog. So at least one DC with the writable partition DC=coopcam,DC=com must a bridgehead. This is a possible solution if you use preferred bridgeheads. To have redundancy designate at least 2 DCs with the partition DC=coopcam,DC=com. If you only have one DC and that DC fails, the problem returns You could also not use preferred bridgehead servers and allow the KCC/ISTG choose its bridgeheads (if this is possible in your environment)

I see Q271997 says that it's reported if a non-preferred bridgehead was used. What did we do to cause this and what's the recommended best fix? Explicit bridgeheads to support inter-site replication to and from site CN=LEX,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=coopcam,DC=com over transport CN=IP,CN=Inter-Site Transports,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=coopcam,DC=com have been selected, but none of these servers can replicate the partition DC=coopcam,DC=com. Please use the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in to do the following: 1. Configure servers that can support replication of the given partition as preferred bridgeheads for this transport. You can do this by modifying the corresponding server objects. 2. Ensure the server objects have an address for this transport. For example, servers performing replication over the SMTP transport must have a mailAddress attribute. This attribute is normally configured automatically after the IIS/SMTP service is installed. In the meantime the KCC will consider all servers in this site as possible bridgeheads for this partition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
