I have a question. I am running dcdiag (with /c /v /e switches); all
DCs are Win2012 R2, but domain/forest level is still Win2008 R2.

I am seeing that some tests fail (such as DFSREvent) fail with "RPC
server is unavailable", when querying other DCs. Now, we're not really
using DFS at all (yet). But I am also seeing it on things like the KCC
Event log. And system log.All the "log" tests, it appears ...

The error is error 0x6ba. I've found references that this might be an
expected error if querying Win2003 DCs, but not Win2012 R2 servers.

All the other tests - advertising, Machine Account, NetLogons,
ObjectsReplicated, etc - they are all passing. It's only these certain
tests that are failing.

If I do dcdiag locally on the server mentioned in the fail message
above, it all passes; I don't see that error.

repadmin (/showrepl and /replsummary) are all fine.

So, my question: is it normal for the "log" queries to fail in dcdiag,
when querying DCs remotely? As I say, if I do dcdiag /c /v locally on
each of the servers that show as fail, the test passes fine (those log
services are running fine).

Do I need to adjust my firewall, if I want to run the tests against
all servers from just one DC?
