Since migrating our test environment to a new 2012 R2 server, we have been getting the below replication errors for ADAM (VMwareVCMSDS) in the event logs of the server:
The attempt to establish a replication link for the following writable directory partition failed.

I did some research and found this -http://enterpriseadmins.org/blog/virtualization/linked-mode-server-replacement-and-vmwarevcmsds-errors/
I followed this through but got right to the end and got the errors below
If i look at active directory explorer on the vCenter server machine, I can see two test servers (Same name but different creation date, one is obviously the old one),does anyone know how I can follow the above through without any errors? or resolve this?
