This is a generic message saying that the replication failed for the specified reason. The useful information is the one found in the "Additional data" as it provides a clue about the reason why the replication failed. Of course, another important detail is the actual partition that failed to replicate. As a result, any attempt to troubleshoot this problem should consider the specific error code, not just the event id itself.

Error 1908 (Could not find the domain controller for this domain.) - The "Event ID 1925: Attempt to establish a replication link failed due to connectivity problem" link provides suggestions on how to troubleshoot this connectivity problem.
Error 8524 The DSA operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure. - Proceed with DNS testing as described in the "Event ID 2087: DNS lookup failure caused replication to fail." link.
This error can also occur if there is a missing or corrupted SYSVOL folder on the destination DC that this DC is trying to replicate to. First do a <CMD> net share to see if the SYSVOL shares are present. If you don't see the SYSVOL shares or you get errors, see article 257338 for help in tracking down this problem.
This signifies errors between site replication. This is normally attributed to DNS configuration errors.
