Windows Server - 2008 R2 to 2003 R2 replication health report
Asked By JDB
07-Nov-09 08:22 PM

Background:
I recently added a 2008 R2 server to our system. We were replicating
between 2 sites with FRS and I migrated to DFS (Domain). This is a single
domain/forest AD in mixed mode. We are in the process of migrating from SBS
2003 R2. I am replicating (successfully) between the 2008 R2 (LA-Server) and
2003 R2 (SofiaServer) servers.
All software firewalls are turned off. There is no port blocking. The
networks are connected via a hardware firewall's VPN. I am running the
report from the a Domain Administrator account.
DCDIAG looks perfect on both ends. netdom query fsmo looks right also.
I am still working through the technote listed, but so far, no problems.

Problem:
The Health Reports do not work. Each server can see it is own data but cannot
see the others.
The error is when runnig the report on 2008 R2 is (IP addresses and domain
names change to protect the innocent):
DNS name: sofiaserver.mydomain.local
Domain name: mydomain.local
Reference domain controller: --
IP address: 192.168.101.150
Site: SofiaSite
Time zone: --

Description: Access is denied.

Suggested action: Verify that the DFS Replication Service is installed on
the server and that RPC traffic is not blocked by firewalls or port
filtering. For information about troubleshooting RPC issues see RPC KB
839880.
