    Hi,

     

    After Disaster recovery I am getting an error saying Replication failed. The certificate for replication partner Site is not trusted. Please trust this new certificate.  [Site: Site ]  [Server: ]
    August 14, 2012 10:04:53 PM EDT:  Got a mis-matched Certificate.  [Site: Site , & wheever I trust the certificate & run replication, everything goes fine but at next schedule I get this error again sad.

    We are running SEPM 11.0.7 MP2 on our SEPM Servers , with Windows 2008 R2 & Embedded database.

    Any pointers , where I am doing wrong ? Need urgent response since we will be upgrading to SEPM 12.1 & befor that we need to resolve this.

     

    Regs,

    Arvind

    "Let me add more to it, I have to establish a new server at a different location & I was not able to perform initial replication, hence I created a server locally , replicated with existing partner, backup database, setup a new server same configuration at new location , copied databse, & restored databse."

    looks like you might have skipped some step, can you follow the steps again?

    is the hostname same at the restoring location?

    Hostname , server configuration, domain all are same. copying and restoring new server DB and server certificates and key store password. Followed the The disaster recovery Document to perform the same, step by step & didnt missed any step.

    can you try start from begining? like install server in the sam LAN then replicate and copy the DB, server certs, passphrase key for restore at other location?

    Will give it a try, but again it will need a downtime & its gonna be a time consuming activity. Can I just try restoring DB, Certs etc.. which I had take backup 2 days back when I performed all this activity ?

    was the replication successfull ? if yes you can, however if there are more logs and entries to be replicated , it is going to take a while.

    Yup Replication was successful, But now I found the root cause, & resolved,

     

    I completely uninstalled SEPM from the server, reinstalled in compatiblity mode on Server 2008 R2, restored backup, restored Certificates, passphrase etc.. & its working fine as of now..

    Also this link helped a lot :)
