Hi- I'd expect this is a replication issue. You may want to create manual connection objects temporarily and force replication.

Seems like RDC004 didn't go and tell WDC003 that it was seizing all roles. How to resolve this? I thought to initiate a replicate from RDC004, but it doesn't know that WDC003 is an inbound neighbor, It does know that it is an outbound neighbor, tho ... ==== OUTBOUND NEIGHBORS FOR CHANGE NOTIFICATIONS ============ WilsonPark\ADMNWDC003 via RPC objectGuid: 34a3f66b-148d-4336-bc47-9cf94b7edbff The child shows this, for "repadmin /showreps" (edited) WilsonPark\ADMNRDC004 via RPC objectGuid: fce67ece-48f8-4ed5-8165-92887f332c23 Last attempt @ 2009-10-02 12:49.03 failed, result 1908: Could not find the domain controller for this domain.
