Did you get a one time replication or does it now replicate automatically?
I tried to use the "samba-tool drs replicate" command but I can not
figrue out what to use for 'NC'. I found out what NC means but not exactly
what to enter.

I set email to the list a few weeks ago about one way replication. I have
been assuming that my problem is because I have a Windows 2000 DC and DNS
replication is not supported with a Windows 2000 DC. I am about to try
manually entering the DNS records for the Samba 4.1.6 DC into the
Windows 2000 DNS and then see what happens.
