Exception calling "SetInfo" while doing a simulation (3) on a RODC

I'm having a problem while using the simulation mode on one of our RODCs.

The exception that comes up:

[2023-01-04 10:26:54] :   - Contacting DC in AD domain ...[RODC1.<domain>]...
[2023-01-04 10:26:54] :      * DC is Reachable...

Exception calling "SetInfo" with "0" argument(s): "An operations error occurred.
"

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CatchFromBaseAdapterMethodInvokeTI

[2023-01-04 10:26:56] :      * The new password for Object [CN=krbtgt_19109_TEST,CN=Users,DC=<domain>,DC=local] now does exist in the AD database

Even though the script informs that the password was replicated to the RODC, it, in fact, wasn't (confirmed by manually checking the passwordLastSet attribute).

There's no such problem with the other RODC that we have.

Basic info about the host that take part in the process DC3 - SiteHQ - the source for the replication - Win 2022 DC4 - SiteHQ - PDC - Win 2022 RODC1 - Site1 - the one that we have the problem with - Win 2016 RODC2 - Site2 - the one that the simulation works OK for - Win 2016

I'm wondering whether this is a no go for using the script on this RODC or, maybe, I can just force the replication manually after using the script and that'll be all.

[2023-01-04 10:26:16] :  - 'N.A.' in the columns 'Source RWDC FQDN' and 'Source RWDC DSA' means the RWDC is considered as the master for this script.

[2023-01-04 10:26:16] :  - 'No Such Object' in the columns 'Pwd Last Set', 'Org RWDC', 'Org Time' or 'Ver' means the targeted object was not found in the AD domain.
