I am going to write this post
for this issue as this is the second time I am getting this error, Frist this
error came when I promote a Windows Server 2008 Server to
Additional Domain Controller and that time, File Replication Service was doing
problem and was preventing Additional Domain Controller from replication with
Primary Domain Controller and I applied Solution
1 for this error but now when hundred times replication was done, I am
getting same error again and I just try Solution
2 and issue was resolved. Let’s start with issue and I am talking about
below error;
Event Type: Warning Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None Event ID: 13508
Date: 6/14/2012 Time: 10:15:11 AM
User: N/A Computer: SATURN
Description:
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling
replication from VM-PK-DC1 to SATURN for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS
name VM-PK-DC1.solexpert.blogspot.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 VM-PK-DC1.solexpert.blogspot.com from this
computer.
[2] FRS is not
running on VM-PK-DC1.solexpert.blogspot.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.

Having gone through www.eventid.net
& some other articles, I found that a registry tweak can solve this issue, Steps for registry tweaks are:
1) Stop File Replication service via Start - Run -
type in CMD, click ok. In the Command Prompt window type 'net stop ntfrs' and
press enter
2) Use RegEdit to edit "BurFlags" in the
key
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ntfrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process
at Startup"
* edit the dword key "BurFlags" in Hex format.
* Change from 0 to D2 or D4
* edit the dword key "BurFlags" in Hex format.
* Change from 0 to D2 or D4
D2 -
Non-Authoritative restore (pull from another DC)
D4 - Authoritative restore
D4 - Authoritative restore
2.
Start the File Replication service via Start > Run - type in CMD, click
ok. In Command Prompt Windows type 'net start ntfrs' and Press Enter.
3.
Check for Firewall (Windows / Router) between two
Systems, you can disable firewall or can check that RPC traffic is able to
communicate with the remote computer?
4.
If Event ID 13509 is located in your System’s events
logs than File Replication Service Restart, firewalls off / allow, DNS
configuration, or Active Directory infrastructure is working or not can also
help in this issue.
Hope
this will help you, if yes thanks for comments :)
Hi there
ReplyDeleteThanks for this - helped in my situation.
I did Authoritative restore on the Existing DC, then non-authoritative restore on my BDC...
Rebooted both NTFRS services on both boxes and all came right.
