ADs not Syncing
Brief description of the issue: Primary DC1 (unhealthy) is not syncing to Secondary DC2 (healthy) Long description: We have 2 VM DCs in our domain where the main is DC1 running on Windows Serve...
Multi-homing a domain controller always causes no end to grief for active directory domain DNS. So that's the first issue to clear up, then do ipconfig /flushds, ipconfig /registerdns, restart the netlogon service.
Depending on how long this situation has lasted the 2012 may also have tombstoned in which case demoting, reboot, promo it again may be the simpler solution after above is corrected.
As to stopped services I'd check the system event log for details.
