Difficult to read but you might try this tool, also check the DFS Replication event log for errors.

Hey DSPatrick,

On GPMC console I get an error, it says "inaccessible", the message is showing on two DC:
![195330-image.png][1]

I ran the tool and I got this error:
![195309-image.png][2]
![195249-image.png][3]

Basically it says that there is no cmmunication with DC03 or that that server does not exist, I run dcdiag -a command but it shows other erros that are not releted to DC03.

I'd also check the DFS Replication event log for errors and post the event source and event ID
