You most likely want to perform a non-authoritative restore of FRS on the DC that's in journal wrap. This shouldn't be confused with a non-authoritative restore of DS. Basically, you set the Burflags value to D2 on the DC in journal wrap. The DC will then pull in (from a replication partner) the

FRS determines what it needs to replicate based on the NTFS journal.  If FRS is offline for a period of time, it's possible that the NTFS journal has wrapped (been overwritten by newer stuff).  If the journal has overwritten itself while FRS is offline, it won't know of any changes in the fi

You would use SMTP if you had an unreliable connection or a slow connection where RPC traffic would drop. Also, if replication wasn't required to be timely. RPC traffic is highly effected by latency. SMTP replication would work better on slower or unstable link since SMTP doesn't care about
