I was in the process of configuring Password and Desktop Background Polices at a company, but it has been unsuccessful so far. I tried ruining group policy updates on the client computers but not luck with that. I tried rejoining client computers to domain.


Initially I was told that there were 2 domain controllers with replication, only one has Group Policy Management configured.

When I connect using remote desktop, DC2 and DC3 brings me to the same desktop.When i run a nslookup they both bring back the same IP Address.


The Domain Controllers Also encounter issues replicating.In Group Policy Management it shows that DC3 is inaccessible.


DC2 is the Primary Domain Controller.

Should i delete DC3?
