So I had plans to create some redundancy for my domain by adding a slave domain controller. The primary domain controller was however somewhat obnoxious and returned an error when I tried to let my new domain controller join it.
"Verification of outbound replication failed. Outbound replication is not enabled on replication source domain controller: dc01.corp.com"
The setup
Primary domain controller- dc01.corp.com
- Windows 2012 Server (standard)
- dc02.corp.com
- Windows 2012 Server (standard)
To solve my issues I had to rely on the good old repadmin, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770963(v=WS.10).aspx
Begin by checking the current options
repadmin /options dc01.corp.com
Current DSA Options: IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL
Aha! DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL, this shouldn't be there. Remove it like this
repadmin /options dc01.corp.com -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL Current DSA Options: IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL New DSA Options: IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPLThere, all good. Just go again and hopefully you'll do fine. Or get another error. :)
