Ouch. Hasn't replicated since 1952... That is certainly interesting. I would say that is a bug somewhere though I guess it could represent a corrupted LDAP attribute value holding the replication status info. :o)
 
Out of curiosity I would look at your replication frequency and and try to determine how many days out 5823 failures takes you. If it is trying to replicate with an out of site DC and you don't have change notification enabled on the site link you will have a minumum 15 minute interval which I believe that puts you just outside of 60 days. If it is greater than 15 minutes, you are well outside the 60 day period. I am not sure, but it may be that it doesn't try any more (and hence doesn't increment the attempts) once you are outside of the safe period. I would have to leave that to Eric or someone who has actually played with this and seen it though.
 
Either way, I think it is good you are shooting it.

When running repadmin /showreps on one of the good DCs I get the following message only under cn=configuration

 

Last attempt @ 2005-05-21 19:48.33 failed, result 8614:

The Active Directory cannot replicate with this server because the time since the last replication with this server has exceeded the tombstone lifetime.

Last success @ 1952-08-19 22:59.10.

5823 consecutive failure(s).

 

I agree…I’m already preparing to rebuild this server….

I am confused, the config is the only partition not replicating? If the DC is not replicating due to being to far out because of TLS issues then it shouldn't be replicating anything.

 

Anytime you get into a position like that, I agree with Rick, mow the DC down and start over.

I have a DC that appears to have had some time synch problems before I got here…  Subsequently, all other DCs have discontinued replication for the cn=configuration (per repadmin) with this DC.  My question is; the first event I can see showing replication problems with this DC is on April 8th, which should mean that I’m not past the 60 day garbage collection period.  It seems to me that I could modify the reg setting to allow the other DCs to resume replication and no lingering objects would be reintroduced because the deleted object info is still present.  The offending DC is running Windows 2000 SP3.  Any thoughts?

 

TIA
