Im having an odd problem with DFSR group we created to replicate web content between two of our web servers.
In event viewer we have this event 1202 for DFSR.
"The DFS Replication service failed to contact domain controller to access configuration information. Replication is stopped. The service will try again during the next configuration polling cycle, which will occur in 60 minutes. This event can
be caused by TCP/IP connectivity, firewall, Active Directory Domain Services, or DNS issues.
Additional Information:
Error: 160 (One or more arguments are not correct.)"
In the DFSR logs I see this.

When I run "dfsrdiag pollad":
[ERROR] PollDsNow method executed unsuccessfully. ReturnValue: 12 (0xc)
[ERROR] Failed to execute PollAD command Err: -2147217407 (0x80041001)
However I can run "dfsrdiag dumpadcfg" and it outputs everything fine.
We don't have any other problems with AD. It seems like this started after we installed KB2467173 & KB2538242. We are going to uninstall those and see if it works.
