I had a similar problem about a year ago at a client (inherited it actually). Previous guy had tried to fix it (I saw his save files and what-not) and let it go. By the time I got there the tombstones had expired. The whole thing got very nasty.
In this particular case I would first address the connectivity problems (5721, 5732, 5805, 1645) to get that stable, THEN go after the repl issue.

If one of your 2008 DCs is sitting in the same room as the other and they’re not talking, you should have some errors listed in the logs. First one I’d look at is under Applications and Services -> Directory Service. Dcdiag also would provide additional clues.

The 2012 is at our remote office. One of the 2008R2 DC's will not sync with the others no matter what I do. I have tried repadmin and other commands. It's the oldest of the 3 DC's so my exchange 2003 goes there first before the others. It's starting to be a big hassle when creating any AD objects.as this DC12008R2 is not playing nice with the other kids. What else can I try to bring DC12008R2 in line? TIA
