Target Principal Name is incorrect
I have two DCs in domain: BMSI.ORG: DC1 and DC2 On DC2 I have the following symptoms: 1. When I look at the operation masters option for the BMSI.ORG domain: I see "ERROR" in the operations master field for the RID, PDC, I/S tabs. 2. When I try to replicate using AD Sites and Services: I recv error: the target principal name is incorrect. 3. Under DNS I have a RED X for the other DC (DC1). It sees itself fine. On DC1 the operation masters all are filled with dc1.bmsi.org and ok. Pls help. I don't understand what has happened.

Can you pls provide the specific instructions to reset the secure comm with netdom. I just want to make sure I have them accurate and correct. Thx so much. Do I run netdom on the failing DC (in this case DC2)?
