Also receive error “The source server is currently rejecting replication requests. This operation will not continue” in windows server 2008/2003 and Active Directory replication stopped working, possibly the inbound and outbound replication been disabled on the domain controller
Use the below repadmin command to check the inbound and outbound connection object status
repadmin /options DC name
You may receive the error similar like below, then the inbound and outbound connection object been disabled
“Current DC Options: IS_GC DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL”
If it’s disabled then run the below command to enable the inbound and outbound connection object
repadmin /options DC Name -disable_inbound_repl
repadmin /options DC Name -disable_outbound_repl
If it’s been disabled automatically after some time (15 min) then it’s an issue with the Lingering Objects, you have to check the event viewer for the Event ID 1988
If your environment configured with Strict Replication Consistency, then the Inbound replication of the directory partition of the lingering object has been blocked on the destination domain controller.
You have to remove the Lingering Objects to resolve this issue

Hello All,
i have 2 domain controller in one main site and dc01 is main domain controller and dc02 is the additional server and i have done this command in dco2 its working perfect and when i run these commands in dco1 main domain controller it give this errors-
C:\Windows\system32>repadmin /options dc01-disable_inbound_repl
Repadmin can’t connect to a “home server”, because of the following error. Try
specifying a different
home server with /homeserver:[dns name]
Error: An LDAP lookup operation failed with the following error:

Hi Sayed Waakman Shah
I need few more details like the domain controllers are separated via high speed/ slow wan links or are they in the same local area subnet?
It generally happens when the two DC’s are separated via WAN links where firewall or router ACL comes into play. Check whether your firewall/ router is correctly forwarding LDAP port TCP/UDP 389 and kerberos port 88 as well. If not ask you network team to enable/ unblock those port and try replmon or repadmin.
