I have two domain controllers. My first one will replicate
its information to my second DC, but my second DC cannot
replicate its information to my first DC. Also, I am not
able to view Directory Services in my Event Viewer on my
first DC. All other views work fine. I am able to view
my Directory Services in the Event Viewer on my second DC.

Any suggestions?

VB
 
Go to Active Directory Sites and Services - Subnets - Do you have the ip
addresses defined?

Go to Active Directory Sites and Services - Inter-Site Transport IP Do you
have both sites defined?

Go to Active Directory Sites and Services - Go to each site and verify that
you have servers and check to make sure that under the NTDS settings on each
server a defined replication server is defined.

Might suggest that you install the Support Tools on both DCs ( the Support
Tools are located on the WIN2000 Server CD in the Support | Tools as well as
on the WIN2000 Service Pack CD in the Support | Tools folder - I would opt
for the Service Pack CD ).

Run repadmin as well as replmon. I might also run netdiag /v and dcdiag /v.
These will give us a better idea of what is going on.

HTH,

Thanks for the help. I ran the diagnostics you suggested
and found that I was having failure due to a DNS Forward
Lookup. Once I added an alias that was missing from my
first DNS server, everything just worked. Thanks again.
