Hello,
I have a 2003 R2 server and a 2008 server that have just been set up for replication. This domain has never had replication before, so the group, all installs, etc. were brand new. I was able to create a replication group successfully, and the 2008 server looks like it's ready to replicate. However, the 2003 R2 server shows this error every few hours, which is preventing replication:
The DFS Replication service detected inconsistent msDFSR-Member object while polling for configuration information. The object at CN=9f7bdc3b-baf4-4172-abc5-b151d0b14665,CN=Topology,CN=RGName,CN=DFSR-GlobalSettings,CN=System,DC=xxx,DC=org references another object at CN=DC04,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=xxx,DC=org that does not exist.
DC04 is the name of the 2008 server, and does exist in AD at the specified location. The servers are connected via a site to site VPN, and can ping each other, view each others' shares, etc, so it doesn't look like a connection issue. I've applied all the DFS hotfixes specified at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958802?ppud=4&wa=wsignin1.0, but none of them made any difference.
I'm at a loss of where to look next.
Thanks,
Mitch
