is probably from stale COs that you have on the DCs that remain. That is, on the remaining DCs you probably have connection objects which say we are to pull changes from deleted DSAs. Visit the DC in question (whomever this dcdiag was run on/against) and look in the ntds settings object of that DC. Be sure you don't have connection objects that point to the deleted DSA. That is easiest to do in ds sites and services. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 12:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Replication Have you ever removed a domain controller from Active Directory without going through the dcpromo process to bring it down to a member server first? If you have then the servers NTDS settings will still be around which could be a possible cause. Perhaps try a metadata cleanup as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elton Gouvêa Pimentel Sent: 12 May 2004 17:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RES: [ActiveDir] AD Replication There it goes...

In fact, usually it is a harmless error message. You should still be able to use nslookup to resolve records, give it a try. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elton Gouvêa Pimentel Sent: 12 May 2004 16:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RES: [ActiveDir] AD Replication By running the nslookup command I have received the following error *** Can't find server name for address 10.180.200.3: Non-existent domain Default Server: UnKnown Address: 10.180.200.3 > I guess I need some more help........ -----Mensagem original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Rutherford, Robert Enviada em: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 12:04 PM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assunto: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Replication Is the machine resolving correctly, i.e. do an nslookup to ensure it can connect and resolve from your DNS server/s. If so then do a dcdiag (part of the support tools on the W2K disk) and then paste the results to here.
