"Forcing Replication", instead of successfully replicating, the following message is displayed: "The following error occurred during the attempt to sychronize naming context child01.domain01.local from domain controller COMPUTER02 to domain controller COMPUTER01:
The Active Directory cannot replicate with this server because the time since the last replication with this server has exceeded the tombstone lifetime. This operation will not continue.
"Cause: If domain controllers do not replicate with each other within the tombstone lifetime period (default 60 days), replication will fail with an error.
Resolution: To modify the registry to allow for replication when the tombstone lifetime is exceeded, perform the following steps on both machines, COMPUTER01 and COMPUTER02.
1. Logon to the virtual machine domain controller using an account with administrator rights.
2. Open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigate to following registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters.
4. Right-click in the right pane of the Registry Editor, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. For the name of the value type the following name and then press Enter. "Allow Replication With Divergent and Corrupt Partner "
6. Double-click the new value, enter 1 in the Value data text box, and then click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
This registry change takes effect immediately without the need for a reboot.
Therefore, this change can be implemented after the tombstone lifetime error has occurred and the next replication will be successful.
