Hi Makesh,
It looks like the problem might be on the Active Directory side as per
misconfiguration :
Internal event: The LDAP server returned an error.
It looks like this error says that the domain controller in question
can't figure out what site it's in because the configuration partition
of AD (which stores the site info) is unable to be located.
This is bad.
When demoting and promoting domain controllers results in problems
that I don't normally see, I ask the questions:
1. Do you still have all 5 FSMOs, and do you have any extra
2. Are your DNS servers still up and running
3. Did you ghost your domain controllers, if yes, did you translate
the SID for your machines using SYSprep or some SID tool?
Also, for this problem, you might want to use ADSI edit to connect to
the configuration partition of AD and examine if the Site information
actually does exist, or if it got deleted by something of unknown
origin.

Seeing this error intermittenly in smps log, any idea under what circumstance this error pops up?
