Dear Sir
I have set up two domain controllers (both with dns, dhcp).
site1.mydomain.com (10.0.0.1;255.255.0.0;10.0.0.0/16) DC1
site2.mydomain.com (10.0.1.100;255.255.128.0;10.0.0.0/17) DC2
Windows 2003 Servers, all services packs and critical updates applied.
I have set-up domain replication between two domain controllers, both can
replicate from each other at regular intervals. Both Domain Servers know
about objects (i.e.) test a records added, and successfully replicate this
information. Furthermore, I can ping both servers using:
a: IP addresses
b: hostnames
c: FQDNs
I Wish to replicate Active Directory objects between both domains, so I have
set-up Domains to trust each other, two way trusts (that are valid and
active) non transistive.
I have also configured Active Directory Site & Services, included 2nd site,
server name, and associated IP address and subnet mask, also set-up default
site link to replicate every 60 minutes.
I then attempted to force the replication using repadmin tool:
On site1 I typed:
repadmin /sync dc=site2,dc=mydomain,dc=com dc2 xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (GUID #)
result:
Dsreplicasync failed with status 8453(0x2105): cant retrieve message string
8453, error 1815.
I have gone into repmon and can see both Domains Controllers.
I have been stuck as this problem is causing me a headache now.
I have tried to search on various forums, and ms technet without any luck. No help at M$ as usual!
Could you please point me in right directions, and perhaps tell me what I
need to fix?
Thanks
