I've run into a strange problem that I suspect may be related to DC replication.
We have two DCs, let's called them domaincontroller1 and domaincontroller2 for the purpose of this question.
We've put a Powershell file (.ps1 extension) in \\domain.local\sysvol\domain.local\scripts\Logon. This is used as a GPO logon script.
On some machines on our domain, the script is working as intended. On others, Event Viewer reports that the file can't be accessed.
If I run \\domain.local\sysvol\domain.local\scripts\Logon from my desktop, I can see a load of scripts - but not the PowerShell script in question.
If I run \\domaincontroller2\sysvol\domain.local\scripts\Logon, I still can't see the PowerShell script.
However, if I run \\domaincontroller1\sysvol\domain.local\scripts\Logon, I can.
If I log on to domaincontroller1 and run \\domain.local\sysvol\domain.local\scripts\Logon, I can also see the file.
I've tried running repadmin /replicate domaincontroller2 domaincontroller1 in case that was the problem, but this says "Sync completed successfully" and still the file doesn't appear.
[EDIT] Additional information:
We're using FRS for SYSVOL replication.
Here's an excerpt from today's FRS log (from DOMAINCONTROLLER1, the PDC) which may highlight the problem:

Our old DC is still being referenced in there (I'm not actually sure if that was ever demoted, or just turned off!) but I think the bigger problem is the line ++ ERROR - Invalid Partner: AuthClient:DOMAIN\DOMAINCONTROLLER2$ - that DC is still active and clearly isn't replicating correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
