I have a Win 2000 AD Environment, with multiple remote sites. All DCs in all
sites are running Win2000 SP4
I have been noticing that the DC in one of the remote sites, BRDC1, is
having extremely high processor utilization frequently (Server has duel
866Mhz processors and 1GB RAM.).
I have been watching Task Manager on that server and the excessive processor
utilization is related to LSASS.exe
I am also seeing the following errors in the event logs.

File Replication Service
None
File Replication Service has detected and suppressed an average of 15 or
more file updates
every hour for the last 3 hours because the updates did not change the
contents of
the file. The tracking records in FRS debug logs will have the filename and
event time
for the suppressed updates. The tracking records have the date and time
followed by :T:
as their prefix.
Updates that do not change the content of the file are suppressed to prevent
unnecessary replication traffic. Following are common examples of updates
that do not
change the contents of the file.
[1] Overwriting a file with a copy of the same file.
[2] Setting the same ACLs on a file multiple times.
[3] Restoring an identical copy of the file over an existing one.
Suppression of updates can be disabled by running regedit.
Click on Start, Run and type regedit.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Services, NtFrs,
Parameters,
and create or update the value Suppress Identical Updates To Files to 0
(Default is 1) to force
identical updates to replicate.

The File Replication Service paused because the staging area is full.
Replication will resume if staging space becomes available or if the
staging space limit is increased.
The current value of the staging space limit is 1200000 KB.
To change the staging space limit, run regedit.
Click on Start, Run and type regedit.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Services, NtFrs,
Parameters,
and the value Staging Space Limit in KB.
I have already increased the limit once but that has not helped.

The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication
from SPDC1 to BRDC1 for d:\ using the DNS name spdc1.gfsprod.nt.gfs.com. FRS
will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name spdc1.gfsprod.nt.gfs.com
from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on spdc1.gfsprod.nt.gfs.com.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has
not
yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem
is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the
connection
has been established.
I have looked and the FRS service is running on the DC SPDC1, also the AD
topology has not changed in 2 years, and BRDC1 can do name resolution to
SPDC1.
The only other things running on these DCs are DNS, WINS and DFS.
The other DCs at remote sites are all set up the same, and have the same
size WAN link in between and I am seeing none of theses issues on them.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
