Ah yes but what is the reason for this FRS issue? Most of the time it was due to the Symantec AV software corrupting the data. If the FRS or directory log reports this error I would recommend that you verify the exclusion settings of your AV product. Here is an article on that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158 Omar From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Martin Hugo Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 1:09 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Error 1058 + 1030 I too have seen this when replication is failing. In my case the jet database was in journalwrap error. If I remember correctly there is a registry setting where you edit/add a journalwrap key in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTFRS/Parameters. You could probably google it. Basically it deletes and re-adds the DC to the replication set. YMMV. Martin T.
