I got this error running DCDIAG.EXE

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\DC1
Starting test: Replications
[Replications Check,DC1] A recent replication attempt failed:
From DC2 to DC1
Naming Context: CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=DigiLab,DC=com
The replication generated an error (1722):
The RPC server is unavailable.
The failure occurred at 2002-01-18 13:48.25.
The last success occurred at 2001-12-03 12:59.56.
1106 failures have occurred since the last success.
[DC2] DsBind() failed with error 1722,
The RPC server is unavailable..
The source remains down. Please check the machine.

Any suggestions? Simple and recursive DNS tests are OK.

I found Technet article Q249261:

"This issue can occur if the computer account for a domain controller does not have the right to access this computer from the network.

NOTE : In Windows 2000, computer accounts do not receive the Authenticated Users group SID. So if the you remove the Everyone group from the Access this computer from the network box before you upgrade the computer, the domain controllers will not replicate."

The recommended fix is to modify the Default Domain Controllers Policy in Group Policy to give the Enterprise Domain Controllers the "Access this computer from the network" right.

Here is the URL on the article so you can read for yourself:

Hope this helps.
