Hello,

        Recently I had an issue with a DC that I pointed all other DC's 
at to replicate their sysvol folder. I removed and demoted this DC from 
the domain. I chose another DC to have it's sysvol folder pulled from.  
I setup this DC per the wiki that holds the PDC Emulator FSMO Role.  On 
the other DC's I updated the cronjob to point to the new DC.  Figured it 
would be that simple. It hasn't been.  Running the rysnc command I got a 
timeout error. I Forgot to open port 873. Corrected that and tried 
again.  Now I get connection refused.  The strange part is if I manually 
push a file it works. If I pull I get an error.

Any ideas what I'm missing?
