One site has two domain controllers DC01 and DC02, replication is not good , DC01 is claiming PDC and Infra while other one [DC02] is claiming all 5 roles, this is sort of strange scenario, the other guy tried to transfer or seize roles which was failed.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Please run;

    Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiagDC1.log
    Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiagDC2.log
    repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt

    then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.

    It sounds like the two have been disconnected at some point and roles were seized to other one. In this case you don't have much choice but to pick one and rebuild the other from scratch.
