Hi experts,
I've a few months now, on and off, i've been working on my lab to learn new stuff about active directory (and just for the record, the forums are the BEST way to know and ot learn how to troubleshoot things).
My problem as i mention in the tilte, is replication, and it began a gew months ago when i my first DC started to cause weird issues, i decided to install a new one, and since then the replication began.
I found a great blog: http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/index.htm which finally helped me see the light, and maybe with your help i'll be able to see solve this issue.
Just for the record, this is a test lab, 2 DC'S with 2008 R2, and a few more servers...(the dc's are: viper-dc-02 and viper-dc-03).
after i'm typing the command:adfind -h viper-dc-02 -config -s base msDS-NCReplCursors;binary -metasort lastsync -mvnotfiltersors=deleteddsai'm getting this result:
dn:CN=Configuration,DC=viper,DC=local
