Situation:
----------
2 2K-AD-Servers (1 Exchange and global catalogue server). Both upgraded from NT half a 
year ago,
1 Site, 1 Domain.
15 W2K and 1 XP clients.

Problem:
--------
The Exchange/global catalogue server stands about every 10 minutes for about 45 
seconds. No response on any click, nor it is possible to work with outlook 'on' that 
server for the 45 seconds.

According to the event log I had a couple of issues with user rights in local security 
(power user etc.) (SceCli every 8 minutes). I followed the Microsoft guides and 
removed the group entries from local security policy.

No I don't have event log entries anymore, but the problem persists.

Cause/Solution?
---------
I guess that there is still a problem with AD. On the second server I can see issues 
in the AD replication monitor for the first server. Objects could not be replicated 
due to access failure.

On the Exchange/global catalogue server in the registry in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica 
Sets\d5c32359-0ee1-42a9-8bac72a28682a096 I found a wrong path for ...\sysvol\domain. 
It points to an non existing directory.
So it seems that active directory is not able to find active directory.

I did not want to correct it via the registry. There must be a better way to correct 
wrong path settings for the active directory container.

Question
--------
I appreciate any hint how to fix the ntfrs/AD settings on that machine. Where are 
these path values stored? Is it necessary to use DC promo to remove and add the server 
from/to the domain or is there an easier way to fix it?

Best Regards

Elmer [glad that the machines are still running under these circumstances]
