Hey bigger problem here,
SBS2008: primary dc, hostname: sbs-serv1
WinServ 2008: secondary dc, hostname: sbs-serv3
we had issues with windows internal database (#ssee). when trying to fix issue, i had to undo my changes and to restore a vmware snapshot (20minutes old).
when executing ***repadmin /showrepl*** i got errors saying the target server doesn't accept replication orders...
I think i broke the replication link chain....
Today I tried to demote the secondary dc, but it failed because it could not connect to the primary dc.
Can anyone please help me "relinking" the dcs again? Users could not access exchange or redirectedFolders. but the "plain" network connections with ip addresses are working.
