Prev: undiagnosed errors in the system log
Next: How to change the SID on a Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT computer...
From: Englishman on 30 Aug 2005 08:37 Hi, I was contracted to resolve AD problems between 2 Windows 2000 DC's. Although the servers were in the same site, they would not replicate. I ran DC promo and repaired AD and DNS as best I could. Repadmin /showreps shows both DC's, however whenever replication is scheduled to occur, the following error is logged: Event Id 1586 Warning The checkpoint with the PDC was unsuccessful. The checkpointing process will be retried again in four hours. A full synchronization of the security database to downlevel domain controllers may take place if this machine is promoted to be the PDC before the next successful checkpoint. The error returned was: The destination server is currently rejecting replication requests. I can manually replicate from DC1 to DC 2, but not the other way. I used NtdsUtil Metadata cleanup and verified that there are no foreign objects. NTDS connection objects are created automatically by the KCC. I appreciate your assistance

It sounds like it could be a comm issue between a current and former fsmo holder.
