During directory replication the following events may be logged in the application event log:
Event ID 1188
Source: MSExchange DS
Type: Information
Category: Replication
Description:
Internal event: The directory replication agent (DRA) received exception 1727 from a remote procedure call (RPC) connection to server SERVER1.
Event ID 1083
Source: MSExchangeDS
Type: Warning
Category: Replication
Description:

Event ID 1059
Source: MSExchangeDS
Type: Warning
Category: Replication
Description:
Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) call returned error 13.
CAUSE
The Exchange Server computer cannot resolve the name of the server to which it is replicating by means of TCP/IP.
RESOLUTION
Troubleshoot and resolve the name resolution issue.
WORKAROUND
As a temporary workaround, you can add an entry to the Hosts or Lmhosts file on the server; this entry points to the Exchange Server computer that you want the server to replicate to.
To add an Exchange Server computer entry to a Hosts file:
- Start a text editor, for example, Notepad.
- Open the Hosts file from the Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc directory.
- To add an entry in the Hosts file, at the bottom of the file, type the IP address and computer name of the destination server, for example:
- Save the Hosts file without an extension, and then quit Notepad.
The Hosts file is read every time a Winsock application resolves a host name. There are NO #PRE options to preload entries (which is how it is done in the Lmhosts file). You can add the Exchange Server computer entry to the Hosts file and start directory replication again without restarting Windows. NOTE: If you are using the Lmhosts file instead of the Hosts file, it is also located in the Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc directory.
