You need to sync your DC time with the PDC only.By default time skew of 5 min is fine but anything more or less creates problem in authentication with the DC.

Hi,
You can try repadmin/replsum and then repadmin/syncall.. Do you have any replication issues going on..?
Also, please change this as a question and not a discussion bcos sometimes discussions are not noticed...

Hi,
Was there any network related problems between the sites where DC's DEOFF-DOM-05 and GRATH-DOM-10 are present?

You need to change the post type to question instead of discussion.
Back to your issue, the error "he RPC server is unavailable" indicates issues with the ports being blocked on the firewall or connectivity issues with the DC's. You can use portquery tool which is free and can be downloaded and installed on the server to check port block. You also needs to verify there is min or no latency in the network.
How to use portquery tool.

Yes and because of that, dc's are not reachable and you get error posted in your link. Without realizing, you answered your own question..:)

You can use below cmd to reset the secure channel which is reference in the article posted by you. The cmd can be used on windows 2008 r2 even to reset the secure channel on the DC.
