Hi,
My client is having two different Active Directory replication issues in
same domain. At least I believe that these are two separete issues. I just
wanted to report these in same message because I'm not sure if these problems
have something to do with each other. Domain functional level is Windows
Server 2003 and all DC's are having operating system Windows Server 2003 SP2
standard.

User Action
If this condition continues, restart the domain controller.

********************************************************
Based on Knowledge Base article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830746) I
have tried to increase the value of the RPC timeout for Active Directory
replication from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. This didn't solved the issue.
Network bandwidth is quite slow between DC01 and DC02 (ping round trip time
about 400ms) but we have other sites having even slower connection but AD
replication working fine.
I have already troubleshooted this issue with network service provider but
they state that there is no network related errors between those two
computers.

Description:
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the
following directory partition.
Directory partition:
CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=net
There is insufficient site connectivity information in Active Directory
Sites and Services for the KCC to create a spanning tree replication
topology. Or, one or more domain controllers with this directory partition
are unable to replicate the directory partition information. This is probably
due to inaccessible domain controllers.
User Action
Use Active Directory Sites and Services to perform one of the following
actions:
- Publish sufficient site connectivity information so that the KCC can
determine a route by which this directory partition can reach this site. This
is the preferred option.
- Add a Connection object to a domain controller that contains the directory
partition in this site from a domain controller that contains the same
directory partition in another site.
If neither of the Active Directory Sites and Services tasks correct this
condition, see previous events logged by the KCC that identify the
inaccessible domain controllers.
