I was successfully replicating files in the DFS on the same LAN. When I moved the new file server to another LAN and connected via VPN over the WAN replication was not successful. I think I may have some sort of DNS issue...but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. I'm going to paste several related system log entries to see if this might show the issue. Any suggestions or tips on how to resolve are appreciated.
I think replication is successfully occurring on one side but NOT on both sides.
Also, it seems to successfully contact the domain.
The two servers are able to ping each other without issue.
