Repadmin /Showreps does not show any errors however, it shows inconsistent Replication partners. Here is my question; We have: Forest Root Domain (Empty) DC1 (Holds all 5 roles) (the DC offline for 26 hours) DC2 One Domain in the Forest DC4 DC5 (Holds all 5 Roles) DC6 Everyone is W2K3 (no Service Packs) and everyone is a GC and everyone is a DNS server. I was positive that I had the Forest Root and Domain at Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Level but now when I go to AD Domains and Trusts and click the Forest Root Domain and right click Properties I get: Domain Functional Level = Windows 2000 mixed Forest Functional Level = Windows 2000 When I go to AD Domains and Trusts and click the Domain and right click Properties I get: Domain Functional Level = Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Level = Windows 2000 I must have miscalculated, but that's not my question. In my AD Sites and Services, I have connection objects that have automatically been generated for each DC but they are inconsistent. ie: DC1 goes to DC2 and DC6 DC2 goes to DC1 and DC5 DC4 goes to DC5 and DC6 DC5 goes to DC4 and DC6 DC6 goes to DC1 and DC4 and DC5 The question is, "Shouldn't they all have automatically generated connection objects to everybody else and if they don't, is it just a matter of me adding the manual new connection object?" Or am I seeing a properly configured Sites and Services. If not, is part of my problem that I have not got the Forest Root at FFL? Thanks in advance people for any assistance. This list is so valuable, it's not funny. (Seriously!) ______________________________ Rocky Habeeb Microsoft Systems Administrator James W.
