ERROR_DS_REMOTE_CROSSREF_OP_FAILED
The Domain Naming Master failed the remote crossRef operation
Creation and deletion of crossRef objects that represent naming contexts are single-master operations on the Domain Naming Master. A DC receiving the higher-level request may have to coordinate with that role owner. This status means the remote cross-reference operation itself failed; the useful root cause is normally carried in the extended error information from the master-side attempt.
Do not stop diagnosis at this wrapper code. A role-owner reachability problem, validation of the proposed NC hierarchy, duplicate partition metadata, or configuration-NC inconsistency can all surface beneath the remote operation. The server that returned the outer code may not be the server where the decisive validation failed.
What to inspect
- Capture extended error data and Directory Service events from the Domain Naming Master as well as the initiating DC.
- Verify current Domain Naming Master ownership and successful configuration-NC replication with the role holder.
- Inspect the proposed NC and existing crossRef objects before retrying; repeated remote calls will preserve the underlying validation failure.
