Hi Sakari, Thank you for providing the list op operational attributes. The first thing I will do now is build a VB script to trigger the actions in a test environment A few weeks ago I bought the second edition of "Inside Active Directory" but haven't started reading it yet. A shame I know and I think I should start reading it as soon as possible! ;-) Regards, Jorge

A more complete list can be digged out from ntdsa.dll: doOnlineDefrag removeLingeringObject SchemaUpgradeInProgress doLinkCleanup becomePdcWithCheckPoint updateCachedMemberships becomeInfrastructureMaster checkPhantoms dumpDatabase invalidateRidPool fixupInheritance becomePdc schemaUpdateNow recalcHierarchy doGarbageCollection becomeSchemaMaster replicateSingleObject becomeRidMaster becomeDomainMaster 10 out of these 19 are listed in the Platform SDK. Thanks for the question, Jorge. I have to include this list in the next edition of "Inside Active Directory" (whenever that will be published).
