when try force replication primary dc different error: "the directory service cannot replicate server because time since last replication server has exceeded tombstone lifetime".

can please informe me of need our network objects back?

thank in advance.

hi dave,

do have backup on pdc? if do, can perform non-authoritative restore. since backup stale, need remove lingering objects on pdc after restore.

if bdc writable domain controller gc, can seize fsmo roles , rid of former pdc.
