A little help in the right direction needed here, and I'll try to make it short as possible. I just joined a company with a Windows 2000 Enterprise network containing only windows 2000 servers and workstations. I find that user accounts added at primary Domain controllers do not always replicate to their respective BDCs.
To get a better handle of the situation, I run the Active Directory Replication Monitor on one of the DCs and get a whole slew of errors for most of my PDCs; the most common ones being "Error 1722. The RPC server is unavailable", "Error 1753. There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper", and "Error 8524. The DSA operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure.". even scarier is the error "ERROR reading partition: DC=domain,DC=net". This last error has show for some PDCs, but i can connect to them easily.
My workaround has been to add user accounts at each local domain...a real pain, rather than use scripting to add the accounts at the regional hubs that should propagate down to the PDCs.
Has anyone encountered this type of headache before? any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
ps/ i can connect to other server with no problems using DNS or IPs. everything seems fine until i try adding accounts at the regional servers.
Sorry for the long rant..i tried to make it a short as possible. Hope somebody can help.
