Todd, Make sure you use FRS Troubleshooting an Monitoring tools. These will save you big time as far as down time. GPMC can be used for backup\restore of policies as well. Also make sure you have the latest revision of FRS code. This is Q815473 for W2k. Try FRSDIAG for a start.

One of the other is the presence of Exchange. Since I've not been able to locate where I read/heard this, I may be way off. But, all my test domain renames have always come up with one or more "issues". Having said that, is this domain "single-labelled" by any chance?

We have a fairly typical multiple site network that we have recently upgraded from win2k3 from win2k, and then gone through the domain rename procedure (it works pretty well BTW as long as your DNS setup is error free.) The problem occurs where our SYSVOL folder are not replicating properly between all DCs. I am getting ntfrs error 13508 (sometimes followed by 13509, sometimes not) on occasion (not regularly) but on the workstations and DC's I'm getting Userenv 1030 and 1058 quite often. Using the frsdiag utility from Microsoft, I'm finding several errors (mostly RPC) on my PDC, and on 3 out of 4 of my other DC's.... ATM I can't push GPO's out to the enterprise as they are not replicating off of my PDC, and while I'm pretty sure that a FSMO role transfer to another box, demoting and repromoting the PDC and one of my GC servers (the boxes that the others are having a hard time communicating with) will fix the problem, I'd rather fix it without having to go to such drastic measures. Any insight anyone can provide would be a great help. --Todd List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
