I'd check the event logs for more details on these errors.
errors after turning off 2008r2 DCs
so moving from our two 2008r2 DCs to 2012, moved FSMO roles successfully.
dcdiag and repadmin /shorepl ran successfully after that finished as well.
shut down the two 2008r2 servers for a time so we could make sure people could still sign on and such, and the few we tested worked.
turned the two 2008r2 servers back on, and suddenly I see errors in dcdiag and repmon that were not there before.
are these just errors that will clear after the servers have been up for a while?
here are some examples:
