Right from the past few days of observation I gather the 2 DCs just needed to figure the connectivity was via the VPN setup. repadmin reports success now.
Thank you for all the advice Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Seet Sent: Wednesday, 25 February 2004 11:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] KCC complain for sites with 2 different domains I have followed your steps below, with detailed logging I see the event log filling up with Information entries after I instructed a Check Replication Topology - some 26 of them, no errors hinted. If you'd like me to post all of them to you, please lemme know.

And looking at the topology check just completed, can I really take this as AD KCC requiring a long period of time to figure out the connectivity between the 2 sites is via the router-router VPN?
