Hi All: I have replication set up between two 2008 std ed. servers (sp1)
that are also domain controllers for a small domain.

My DFS log is full of errors that recur once or twice an hour (or once every
few hours), followed two minutes later by a message like "The DFS
Replication service successfully established an inbound connection with
partner...". The error is below...what would cause the periodic loss of
communication between the servers?

Hello geekguy,

You are getting Error ID 1722 "The RPC Server is unavailable". Do you
currently have any firewall in place in your network especially from
ServerA? Do a repadmin /showreps on your schema master and post result,

Hi Issac...no, there's no firewall between the servers, or running on the
servers.

Hello geekguy,

did you have a "dirty" system shutdown due to power failure etc? Then this
link from technet might be good for you

Thanks for that link Isaac...in fact I did experience a dirty shutdown of
all equipment a few weeks ago during a power failure...but the technote
applies to 2003 R2, not 2008?

FWIW: I have not rebooted "serverA" since it restarted automatically.
