For those of us new to the list (such as myself :-)) can you give us the full problem description with KCC errors you're getting? I do these KCC errors a *lot* which is why I ask. :-)

Now the broadband connection is permanently up, and site link persisted via RRAS VPN. Here are the output as requested: ------------------------------------------------------------ C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>repadmin /showreps Bugis\NARU DSA Options : IS_GC objectGuid : d6128909-72f4-4609-b888-bdde5fc5e90f invocationID: d6128909-72f4-4609-b888-bdde5fc5e90f ==== INBOUND NEIGHBORS ====================================== CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corporate,DC=company1,DC=com Parkway\SHINOBU via RPC objectGuid: 46a417a7-9b9b-4a54-8e8e-6a8c94ebe58b Last attempt @ 2004-02-24 13:53.41 failed, result 1722: The RPC server is unavailable.

Last success @ 2004-02-23 13:52.14. 12 consecutive failure(s). ==== OUTBOUND NEIGHBORS FOR CHANGE NOTIFICATIONS ============ ------------------------------------------------------------ To recall my setup, I have a DC for corporate.company1.com (forest root) in one office (Site: Bugis). Another DC for corporate.company2.com.sg (child tree to the forest) over at the branch (Site: Parkway). The DNS servers are setup in such a manner dc.corporate.company1.com : AD-integrated corporate.company1.com; secondary slave corporate.company2.com.sg to dc.corporate.company2.com.sg dc.corporate.company2.com.sg : AD-integrated corporate.company2.com.sg; secondary slave corporate.company1.com to dc.corporate.company1.com By allowing zone transfers to anybody (due to unpredictable IP address from VPN DHCP), the DNS settings in such a manner are all right. Now the interesting note is: when the VPN link is disconnected and re-established, it will throw those KCC errors for a couple of hours, and then stop complaining thereafter. I believe there was a power outage yesterday at the branch, which caused the VPN to disconnect. The KCC errors have been occurring again ever since, even with the VPN up. Do I perceive this as: 1. The replication engine to give up replicating altogether after a period of failures, thus never ever replicating successfully thereafter? 2. Or it actually manages to finally sync after a period of stabilisation over the VPN link, and will need to stablised yet again after this latest disconnection?

Why is it that you have one forest, with one domain having Active Directory integrated DNS and a text file secondary? Then you repeated that. Why? Along with the repadmin command Joe suggested, how about checking out DCDIAG and NETDIAG utilities as well and posting the results? You're main issue you are trying to troubleshoot is why the configuration container is not replicating to the other domain controllers. Although commonly a DNS issue, that very well may not be the case. You may just have other issues to contend with. Best to gather all of the information to find out for sure before making ANY changes.
