Adding a new server to Enterprise pool failing when installing local configuration store

Question

We have Enterprise edition running. It includes one Enterprise pool, on director pool and one edge pool. SQL is installed on a separate backend server in default instance. No other databases on the same server.
The problem comes up when trying to add another server to the enterprise or director pool. Same error message is shown when trying to install the Local Configuration Store:
PS C:\Users\administrator.DOMAIN\appdata\local\temp\2> Import-CsConfiguration -FileName .\CSConfigData-2012_03_22-09_29_14.zip -Verbose -LocalStore
Import-CsConfiguration : The 'MaxPublishBatchSize' attribute is invalid - The value '100' is invalid according to its datatype 'PositiveInteger' - The MaxIncl
usive constraint failed.
At line:1 char:23

   chemaValidationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidationException,M

Same error comes from the GUI. Any ideas?

Hi,
run these commands earlier:
PS C:\Users\administrator.domain> Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus -CentralManagementStoreStatus
LastUpdatedOn : 28.3.2012 12:51:03
ActiveMasterFqdn : LYNCFE-01.domain.local
ActiveMasterLastHeartBeat : 28.3.2012 12:51:42
ActiveFileTransferAgentFqdn : LYNCFE-01.domain.local
ActiveFileTransferAgentLastHeartBeat : 28.3.2012 12:51:41
ActiveReplicas : {lyncdir-01.domain.local, lyncfe-
01.domain.local, lyncedge-01.domain.lo
cal, lyncdir-02.domain.local}
DeletedReplicas : {}
PS C:\Users\administrator.domain> Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication
PS C:\Users\administrator.domain> Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus -CentralManagementStoreStatus
LastUpdatedOn : 28.3.2012 12:52:21
ActiveMasterFqdn : LYNCFE-01.domain.local
ActiveMasterLastHeartBeat : 28.3.2012 12:52:42
ActiveFileTransferAgentFqdn : LYNCFE-01.domain.local
ActiveFileTransferAgentLastHeartBeat : 28.3.2012 12:52:42
ActiveReplicas : {lyncdir-01.domain.local, lyncfe-
01.domain.local, lyncedge-01.domain.lo
cal, lyncdir-02.domain.local}
DeletedReplicas : {}
After that I tried to add the server again, same error message. I also tried to re-join the server to domain and even re-created the whole virtual server
