Newly added DC's are not replicating with existing DC's

dear all,

we have windows domain environment on our network. , 3 domain controller on default site (head office) , 2 other dc’s on remote sites.

last november have added new  domain controller default site (where other 3 domain controllers located) , getting errors related replication after few days. in every dc got event  id 1864 saying directory partitions not replicating on 1 dc.

and couldn’t see newly added dc on “ repadmin /showvector /latency dc=domain,dc=com “ output on every other dc’s. same time started getting errors on authentication related functions in domain.

 so forcefully demoted newly added dc , did metadata cleanup. errors disappeared , authentication related function became normal.

 then fulfill requirement freshly installed , promoted 1 other server new dc. unfortunately facing same scenario earlier. noticed changes doing on other dc’s not replicating new dc. existing dc’s replicating between , can’t find issues on , newly added second dc not replicating exiting environment. seams goes wrong ware can’t find. please assist.

pls. note bellow information’s may required.

all servers running on vmware environment

all dc’s os windows 2008 r2 sp1

no gateway firewall between new server , exiting 3 dc’s on default site (same lan/subnet)

antivirus software symantec , av firewall not enabled

windows firewall enabled(default), tried stopping them no different on result

ad site topology hub , spoke remote dc’s replicate head office site

event id’s getting on directory service on other dc’s 1863, 1864

netlogon , sysvol has created can see files , folders

all fsmo roles holding 1 server

migrated windows 2003  3 years before , last 2003 dc has demoted on last year

dear all,

finally found workaround.

since kcc not aromatically created connections on had create manual connections site , services.

i have created connections using primary domain controller (fsmo roles holder). connections not replicated newly added dc. means when open ‘site , services’ console newly added dc, connections create manually not visible.

but in second time have created connections using newly added dc on ‘site , services’. opened ‘site , services’ using primary domain controller. wow…. connections has replicated. can’t believe this, can’t imagine reason why have create connections using newly added dc.

i hope moment problem solved. have more troubleshooting find out issue. want kcc create automatic connections without doing manual work.
