We have two domain controllers. On the second dc, we can't create users; groups can be
created. when we try to create users, the following error
message is displayed: "Windows cannot set the password for
<USER> because: The specified Active Directory object is
not bound to a remote resource." Screenshot 2024-02-23 212851

We can create users on the first dc and it gets replicated
to the second. Also we cant join PC to domain we are getting an error when joining saying: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. Screenshot 2024-02-23 213038

Anyone know what this means? Thanks.

    Hi @rtuesca

    Based on the result of dcdiag and replication status, it seems that RID pool on the second domain controller is corrupted. Try to demote and repromote the second domain controller again then check if it can fix your issue.
