gpotool reports version mismatch in default domain policy

[Guest]

I can't see any obvious mismatch in version numbers, and replication
is working. Replmon reports no errors. Event logs are clean.

Here is the output from gpotool:

Policy {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}

Ok, maybe I'm reading the output wrong and the differences are between
the DC and sysvol versions on each server, not the versions bewteen
the 2 servers.

DS version: 1
Sysvol version: 2

If that's the case, how can I correct this?

Again, I was mis-reading the output of the gpotool. What I should have
been looking at were these lines:

Error: Version mismatch on dc2.domain.com, DS=65618, sysvol=165618
Error: Version mismatch on dc1.domain.com, DS=65618, sysvol=165618

When I looked at this those version numbers it reminded me of a
journal wrap error that we were getting for NTFRS a while back,
causing replication to fail. Part of the fix was to increment the
version # in the GPT.ini file which resides under the sysvol
{3060E8CE-7020-11D2-842D-00C04FA372D4} folder. I had edited the
GPT.ini file to change the version number from 65618 to 165618, but
never changed it back after NTFRS was working again (nothing in the
documentation said we had to).

To fix the version mismatch it was a simple matter to edit the GPT.ini
file on the PDC emulator to change it back to 65618. After replication
I ran gpotool again and we have no errors.
