FRS Problems

3809 Views 0 Replies 1 Participant Last post by  AaronInnes
Hello everyone, I need some help please. Just as a heads up, I have searched endlessly through the internet for resolutions to my issue and found no concrete answer...which is why I am posting here. If someone could help that would me much appreciated!

We set up a new secondary DC on our network. The first DC is running server 2k3 R1 with all the latest updates and service packs. The second DC is server 2k3 R2 with all the updates as well. They can both see each other, they see AD just fine, as well as DNS and DHCP. The secondary DC can give out IP's and resolve DNS names if the main DC is down.

The problem we are running into is that the main DC cannot replicate the sysvol and netlogon sets to the secondary DC. DC1 lets call it, starts FRS just fine, sees DC2 and begins replication. On DC2, it sees the incoming replication, but FRS errors out each time on DC2. AD replication works great between the two and DNS/DHCP both update between both servers. I will post the results from the netdiag, dcdiag and other log files that should help with this issue at the end of the post. Also, DCDIAG will fail DC1 running as a time server, but using various tools shows us it is functioning as a time server...but will not advertise. We have a different box that handles NTP and our DC1 hands out the info to the clients from the NTP server.

I can't think of anything else besides the logs I would need to add in here...so here they are:
