Rick,
Let me answer your questions

Q. When you say your DC is a Œreplica¹ DC versus a Œmaster¹ DC, what do you
mean?  Are you simply referring to the holder of the FSMO roles?

Ans. Yes I'm referring to the Master Domain Controller and Replica Domain 
Controller.


Q. When you say your users suffer, what do you mean?  Do you mean an active
client using one of the DC¹s has a problem if that DC goes down in the
middle of a session?  Or do you mean something else entirely?

Ans. When the Active domain controller goes down, my users get error message 
stating that exchange is unavailable.

Problem has started all of a sudden.

Regards,
Rajnish

If the commands succeed - what do the corresponding logs show?

I don't know that re-domainprepping at your cluster is your 'only option' -
what gives you that idea?  The comment below on running it is related to one
specific issue - group membership.  You haven't said whether you verified
that membership or not, so by all means go do so before you rerun
domainprep.  After you verify it, do a little research before just
re-running setup.

I posted a bunch of questions, but you didn't answer any of them - so I'll
offer them again, perhaps some of that information would prove useful:

When you say your DC is a Œreplica¹ DC versus a Œmaster¹ DC, what do you
mean?  Are you simply referring to the holder of the FSMO roles?

When you say your users suffer, what do you mean?  Do you mean an active
client using one of the DC¹s has a problem if that DC goes down in the
middle of a session?  Or do you mean something else entirely?

When you say ³I have serious issue² do you mean you are experiencing issues,
or you take issue with the architecture?  (Syntactic I know, but because I
suspect there¹s a slight language gap, I want to understand which of these
you intend).

Exactly what changes did you make that led to the issues you¹re now seeing?
