How do you fix AD Replication when a server has exceeded the Tombstone lifetime Recently, I just turned 2 of my 3 domain controller servers back on after being off for quite a while. Each one is configured to replicate AD from one to another one. However when the replication process is started I get a exceeded tombstone lifetime error. The error says The AD cannot replicate with this server because the lifetime since the last replication with this server has exceeded the tombstone liftime. How do I change this so that all three will replicate correctly Is it a matter of changing the tombstone lifetime or is there a way that I can re sync all of my servers with my primary domain controller I did try the command repadmin replicate and other switches and also the command dcdiag. Those did not help, they only pretty much gave me the same information that I am giving you.
