I change my stance on it being bidirectional. It is now. Wasn't before. Not sure what I changed to make it that way. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Lambert Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 2:46 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: OT - Windows 2003 DNS Issues Hey all, I created a Windows 2003 Domain, all seemed to go smoothly with dcpromo, etc. Then when I try to replicate between the two, I get the following error (Note: this is not a bidirectional error, only from DC 1 to DC 2, DC2->1 replicates fine) "The naming context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated from the specified server" Now, I checked that both of my DNS servers are DC1/DC2. I also verified I can ping between the two using the FQDN, so DNS seems to be resolving fine. Anyone have any experience with this issue?
