Hello,
While investigating the cause of the event 13508 (The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from DC to DC2 for c:\windows...) I got confused with the following facts:
1)
Q1: How it's possible to display the replication from DC to DC2 as working from the DC2's point of view and as in the error state from the DC's point of view? How DC can show there's the error replicating from DC to DC2 if this successfull replication can be seen on DC2, especially when NO errors can be seen on both servers after runningrepadmin /showrepl?
2)
Q2: Although DC is the owner of all roles it believes some partitions have never been replicated - how does it correlate with no errors in therepadmin /showrepl output above?
3) Furthemore, almost non-functioning DC2 (missing sysvol and netlogon share don't allow it to be "a real dc") believes it holds one of the roles (I tried to remove DC2 and got this error):
Q3: How do these two screenshots exist simultaneously???
Thank you in advance,
Michael
