There generally isn't a need especially in a simple environment to override the KCC and manually create connection objects, you are just asking for difficulties of this sort if you do. The KCC is smart enough to figure out very complex setups by itself. If it were me I would delete anything that wasn't <automatically generated> unless you have a very specific need.
Are your strange entries prefixed by CNF: ? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 11:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Odd entries in SITES and SERVICES Win2000 AD, in a parent/child domain config. I'm seeing something odd after adding a new DC into one of my sites. This is a DC in my child domain. So my techs DCpromo the server, while out at the site (so they're on the right subnet). And the DC adds fine, and shows up in the proper site. All good so far. So I go into AD S&S, and fiure I will manually add a connection to each of my parent and child DCs, rather than wait for them to automatically show up. And they show up, and all seems well, so far. Now, I am seeing odd entries for that new DC - I am seeing duplicates of some of the entries I made. For example, I added a connection to WDC001. Now, in addition to that entry, I have an entry for WDC001:3e94f9c4-fd3f .... Looks like a SID, actually. I added 3 DCs for the child domain, and I am seeing these entries for all 3 child DCs. Not seeing it for the 4 other parent DCs. A "repadmin /replsummary /bysrc" doesn't show the strange entry, just the WDC001. REPLMON shows successful replications for this server, for all the other DCs I told it about. SO ... any ideas of what this is? Did I screw up anything? (I shouldn't have; I have manually entered new connection in SITES and SERVICES before, without this occurring). If so, how do I un-screw it? What should I do next? Delete all these connections, and then just wait for AD to automatically recreate the links itself?
