Likewise, can't wait to see 2.0! Using Ultrasound here, too as well... which I tell you is a far leap from connstat! :) It's actually a pretty sweet tool... and has really shed some light on replication problems that occur.
We've always used FRS for sysvol replication w/ fairly good success. This seems to improve with each subsequent release. I tried to maintain Dfs using FRS for a long time... got burnt in the initial releases of FRS and subsequently up to the SP2 version. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GRILLENMEIER,GUIDO (HP-Germany,ex1) Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 12:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Latest FRS info from MS it's actually not that instable from a replication perspective - you just need to know a hell of a lot of little things to understand how it works (and not to break it accidentally). using the freebee Sonar and Ultrasound tools from MS have definitely helped to improve FRS replication (especially the latter, which points you to issues in on your systems), but these won't help to cover the fact, that the whole system is rather complex. Nevertheless, the tools are a good _addition_ to any Monitoring system, as they go deeper into the FRS specifics than anything else (they won't help you thought to monitor the rest ;-). I know MS is working on "FRS 2.0" - basically a complete rewrite of FRS - looking forward to it... -----Original Message----- From: marcus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 5.
