Title: Message

Hello Folks, This particular server(Windows 2000) isnt replicating out, SYSVOL is not shared even if I share manually, when i restart Server, it gets unshared. The NTDS Connection objects were also not created, and so i have done that manually and i get event id 13562 Source NTFRS   Following is the summary of warnings and errors encountered by File Replication Service while polling the Domain Controller SONYDC.riyadh.afg.com for FRS replica set configuration information.    The nTDSConnection object cn=afgdc02,cn=ntds settings,cn=sonydc,cn=servers,cn=riyadhsite,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=afg,dc=com is conflicting with cn=66dbe7ca-284e-4ccd-8fe7-d273ced34d1e,cn=ntds settings,cn=sonydc,cn=servers,cn=riyadhsite,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=afg,dc=com.

The DSA Operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure"   Already, last time i have done DCPROMO /FORCE REMOVAL and done META CLEANUP + ADSIEDIT and promoted it again with new hostname, but without success.   I am afraid, if I use DCPROMO /FORCE REMOVAL and done META CLEANUP + ADSIEDIT and promoted it again it will be the same behaviour. If any one culd help me in isolating the problem, it will be very helpful.   I can send dcdiag and netdiag if anyone is willing to have a close look at the problem.   Thanks for your time.
