Connection server replication failsCannot replicate successfully from a Connection server to any other Connection servers in the replicated groupWhen you run this command, it results in an LDAP error: repadmin.exe /showrepl localhost:389 DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int You see an LDAP error similar to: DsReplicaSync() failed with the status 8606 (0x219e) Insufficient attributes where given to create an object. This object may not exist because it may have been deleted and already garbage collected.
To resolve the issue, uninstall and reinstall the connection server on which replication is failing. Note: if time allows, decommissioning the connection server and replacing with a newly built operating system is preferable. Note: Before removing any software, take a complete backup of the ADAM Database. For more information, see Performing an end-to-end backup and restore for View Manager (1008046). To uninstall the connection server on which replication is failing: Remove the Connection server and AD LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS software: Navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program. Uninstall the VMware View Connection Server software. Uninstall the AD LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS software. Reboot if required. Remove the ADAM role: Navigate to Administrative Tools > Server Manager > Roles. Click Remove Roles. Click Next. Deselect Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services. Click Next until you reach Finish. Reboot if required. Remove the Connection server machine that does not replicate from the View Administrator console of the other Connection Servers. In a command prompt window on the other Connection server machines, run this command: vdmadmin.exe -S -r -s old_connection_server_name To re-install the connection server on which replication is failing: Reinstall the Connection Server software (select the Replica server option) on the affected Connection server machine.After the machine is installed, verify that replication works successfully using the repadmin.exe command. For example: repadmin.exe /showrepl localhost:389 DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int
