The destination server is currently rejecting replication requests
One of DC is generating this message whenever I attempt to sync from Active Directory site and services group. I have 3 Domain controller. The Primary domain controller is a Virtual Server, the 2nd one also is a VM server and the 3rd one on a sepeart subnet is a Microsoft Server. Any ideas on how to address the issue. Thanks Nelson

Hi nelson, It maybe an network connective problem. Can you ping through the 3 domain controllers each other? If yes, can you please run "repadmin /sync" on all the domain controllers and see what is the result? Hope it helps.

Hello, are you able to ping between the DCs with ip address, computer name and FQDN? Use the support tools to get more information about the domain: dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:dcname >c:\dcdiag.txt netdiag /v >c:\netdiag.txt [from each DC, netdiag may work but isn't supported with Windows server 2008 and higher] repadmin /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite >c:\repl.txt (if more then one DC exists) dnslint /ad /s "DCipaddress" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321045) As the output will become large, DON'T post them into the thread, please use Windows Sky Drive. Also the /e in dcdiag scans the complete forest, so better run it on COB.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, Please try to run "repadmin /options" on all DCs. If DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL or DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL appears, try to run the command below to reset these options: repadmin /options <DC NAME> +DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL repadmin /options <DC NAME> -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL repadmin /options <DC NAME> +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL repadmin /options <DC NAME> -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL Note: Replace <DC NAME> with your problematic DC name.

That worked. I had to do a force demotion on one of the DC and remove all entries using ADSI edit as well as DNS. I then ran the above commands and then sync all commands and forced replication and then rebotted the servers a few times to get all the items synching properly. Things are working great. Thanks for all your help. Nelson

The dcdiag commands was very helpful in revealing the exact problem and how to resolve it. It is a very useful tool. I learnt also during this process it pays to be patient so as to allow for replication to fully take place. I also reboot the VM a few times to make sure things are working fine and ran dcdiag several times in the process. Thanks again. Nelson
