Hi, thanks for getting back to me. For some reason, I don't get notifications on replies and not sure why. Anyway, I will go through that doc and get back to you on this. Thanks
Ok, sounds good then.
I just read through the steps and now I think that this is over my head and don't want to create issues with everything.
Anything else that I can test before I make any changes?
Please run;
Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.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.

Hi DSPatrick, I have the reports done on both servers but as I go through them, there is quite a bit of information that I don't think should be up there for everyone to see. I'm assuming I need to go through the file and scrub our domain names etc. and replace them with something else?
Not really necessary (most don't worry) but if that's the case then I'd suggest starting a case here with product support.

Hi all, just an update to this. I was able to work through this doc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/replication-error-8453
The first part under Top Solution was what fixed that issue.
Thanks
Glad to hear, you're welcome.
