ADAM Replica ISSUE

I had installed ADAM on a master replica topology. I chose a domain account
for the service to use to logon and made that user an admin of the server
that ADAM was running on. I noticed on one of our DC's that I was getting a
KCC error message for one of the ADAM servers. The event ID was

Event Type: Error
Event Source: KDC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11
Date: 5/2/2008
Time: 10:56:59 AM
User: N/A
Computer: DC2
Description:
There are multiple accounts with name
E3514235-4B06-11D1-AB04-00C04FC2DCD2-ADAM/SSERVICE-VM.pennmutual.com:30000 of
type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I disjoined the machine from the domain, deleted the computer account and
then rejoined it to the domain and started the ADAM service with the same
doman user account. The service started and was working but replication
failed to the replica.

I woul dlike to correct this without having to remove ADAM and start over
again. Can I just delete the replication objects and force the KCC to rebuild
the topology? If I have to uninstall ADAM and start over how do I force it to
remove the replica? Please advise...

Hi

you might be able to force a rebuild however the results can be variable
and time consuming. I would uninstall the problem instance, clean up
the computer account. As you say you will need to clean up the replica
metadata. See the notes on metadata cleanup at

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/883134c9-9cf0-4216-b41b-fb9a29026a281033.mspx

On the initial problem if you hit a duplicate SPN it's a good idea to try
and
figure out how that happened; the location of the SPN can be a clue.
Locating
duplicate SPNs using ldp.exe is described here;

Lee,

Since I do not have a connection object and replication is not working I am
getting an error message when trying to remove the replica. How do I
uninstall a replica that can not communicate with the master? Please
advise....

My recollection is that you can proceed with the
uninstall anyway...if that is not what you are seeing then
options are:

look at adamuninstall /force

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/58c3935d-a4b0-417d-bf12-19be41f99efc1033.mspx?mfr=true


or reinstall the server (if it was dedicated).

Then clean up the computer account in AD.
Then run the metadata cleanup of the removed instance on the remaining
instance.
