Stopping and starting the netlogon service on the domain controller is the easiest way. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241505/EN-US/ If it still doesn't register, you need to find out why it is unable to register in your DNS configuration. Rebuilding wouldn't fix that except by accident.

The host d4b306ca-529e-4050-a9a1-fcff9e7f7571._msdcs.kq.kenya-airways.com could not be resolved to an IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc That would be a lack of SRV records by the looks of it. Fix the name resolution and it should be fine.

Can someone please give me a solution so that the two DCs can replicate with one another. Below is the results: C:\Program Files\Support Tools>dcdiag Domain Controller Diagnosis Performing initial setup: The directory service on hdqact003 has not finished initializing. In order for the directory service to consider itself synchronized, it must attempt an initial synchronization with at least one replica of this server's writeable domain. It must also obtain Rid information from the Rid FSMO holder. The directory service has not signalled the event which lets other services know that it is ready to accept requests. Services such as the Key Distribution Center, Intersite Messaging Service, and NetLogon will not consider this system as an eligible domain controller.
