I am getting issue while using Repadmin command between multiple domain controllers. I am having a setup of Windows 2003 servers on my network. Something is causing replication process to fail. I checked Event Viewer. But it is empty. There are no errors listed related to this. But I get error while using the command Repadmin /replicate. the error is related to some DsReplicaSync failure. Does anyone has idea about the same.
