Hi Karmeng Ujwol
Thanks for using your time in posting on my thread. My answers to your suggestions are below.
1. You have verified everything is working in the PS1 environment (ie: connection to all store success, can login to AdminUI1 but failed to login to AdminUI2)
Yes correct.
2. Then you copy EncyptionKey.txt from PS1 (working environment) to PS2 (non-working environment)
Yes correct.
3. All store connection return failure from both PS1 and PS2 smconsole. PS1 and PS2 cannot startup.
PS1 is working all the time because we have not changed anything there. That policy server is up and running in UAT.
PS2 doesn't work after chaning the EncyptionKey.txt of PS1.
If that's the case, that's not something I expected. As mentioned before try run xpsexport -xb -npass from both environment and check what is the admin password. Sample of the output on administrator:
I tried to execute above command on both policy servers and compared the password attribute. It is showing different password on both servers on both servers.
Below is the output of the command on both servers.
