Hi Everyone, While continuing with my "evil" tests.... ;-)) I'm trying to figure something out.
To summarize: Site links connect sites for replication Connection objects connect DCs for replication Replication links connect naming contexts for replication The first two are stored in the configuration container and it is possible to view/manipulate these with DSSITE.MSC and ADSIEDIT.MSC. Does someone know where replication links are stored and how to view/manipulate these in the directory. Why this question? For those who remember, a while ago a was testing with the W2K3 REPADMIN /unhost option to remove a naming context from a GC. The situation I experience sometimes (for now only on W2K SP3) is that I'm able to remove a certain naming context from the global catalog without problems. The event viewer presents me the IDs I expect. However on the same GC when I try to remove another naming context I receive the following error: DsReplicaDel LOCAL_ONLY() failed with status 8450 (0x2102): The naming context cannot be removed because it is replicated to another server (In REPLMON I can see that the GC has replication links for the particular naming context.) This results in not being able to remove the naming context from the GC as expected. At the moment the DC/GC is running W2K SP3 and the command is executed from a WXP SP1 computer Does someone know how to continue troubleshooting this, as I cannot determine how to continue? (I have been looking at my screen for an hour now and I cannot come up with something... ;-(( )(I hate when this happens! *^%&*%&*^*&[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ ) Hope you guys can help me!
