I just installed 2 W2k3 servers. They both are DC in cc.com domain.
mainDC is the fsmo server. then I installed the second server (Email) with
exchange 2003.
During the test they ran OK with replication between 2 servers. Later I
found out they could not replicate any more. I can only remember I promote
the second server to Global catalog server.
Now in my Directory service event I have this message
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It has been too long since this machine last replicated with the named
source machine. The time between replications with this source has exceeded
the tombstone lifetime. Replication has been stopped with this source.
The reason that replication is not allowed to continue is that the two
machine's views of deleted objects may now be different. The source machine
may still have copies of objects that have been deleted (and garbage
collected) on this machine. If they were allowed to replicate, the source
machine might return objects which have already been deleted.
Time of last successful replication:
2004-11-02 15:53:46
Invocation ID of source:
0006f6cc-f6bc-0006-880b-7103f0bd3a03
Name of source:
731fdab6-a403-4dfb-b7e9-caea97b57ff3._msdcs.ccorp.com
Tombstone lifetime (days):
60
The replication operation has failed.
User Action:
Determine which of the two machines was disconnected from the forest and is
now out of date. You have three options:
1. Demote or reinstall the machine(s) that were disconnected.
2. Use the "repadmin /removelingeringobjects" tool to remove inconsistent
deleted objects and then resume replication.
3. Resume replication. Inconsistent deleted objects may be introduced. You
can continue replication by using the following registry key. Once the
systems replicate once, it is recommended that you remove the key to
reinstate the protection.
Registry Key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Allow Replication
With Divergent and Corrupt Partner
------------------------------------
Since it's obviously tell me how to fix it, but I wasn't sure if fix that
will cause any trouble with the Exchange 2003 server running.
Should I stop the exchange service, then demote the email server and promote
it again.
Do I lose any settings, mailbox that already in place?
Please help.
thanks,
