Not sure if this should go here or the AD list but i'll start here ... Once again I am trying to clean up a mess left by the people before me ...
I have 2 Win2003R2 DC's (DC1 and DC2). They are working and replicating fine. I also have a Win2008 that was attempted to join the DC 's (DC3). According to what I know, dcpromo was ran on it but it was never rebooted. So I rebooted it. Now when I look at the Sites and Services I do not see what I see on the other 2 DC's. DC1 and DC2 have all three servers listed under the Server folder and the NTDS settings showing they all have connections that are replicating. However when I look at DC3, it is looking at old information (an old DC that was demoted) and has all together incorrect information. So my "powers that be" said .. remove it. Now when I try to run dcpromo, I get errors. The first I was able to fix but this error I can not seem to find much information on and what I do read isn't clear. "The operation failed because: Active Directory Domain Services could not transfer the remaining data in directory partition CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local to Active Directory Domain Controller DC1.domain.local. The distinguished name specified for this replication operation is invaild" Any help would be great, I'd rather not force remove the server from the DC position but if it's the only option I'll have no choice.
