In windows 2003 SP1 the default tombstone
will be 180 days. This should be fun……. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alain Lissoir Yep ! I concur with Aric's statement.
Changing the tombtone is definively worthed in an AD environment. I've been
through these issues myself ... From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard, Aric I think the strict replication consistency
will allow you to get around this situation. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317097
Regardless, you run the chance of generating lingering objects if all the DCs
are not fully synced at the point of shutdown for the 60 day plus duration.
You might consider increasing the tombstone lifetime to a value large
enough to ensure that your DCs will be in use enough to replicate tombstones
before they are garbage collected. AD is not designed to be in a
“mostly powered off” state, so these two issues are something you
will always battle with in an environment that is powered on infrequently. Regards, Aric From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Hi Dean, Just
curious... For my studying, testing, playing, etc. I have several VM
environments (VM WRK) set up that I use from time to time. Lets say I built
that environment (at least 2 DCs) in December 2004. When I start the VMs now
all DCs start to complain, which is logical to me, about that each DC has not
replicated for more than the Tombstone Lifetime Value (60 days). Using the
"Allow Replication With Divergent and Corrupt Partner" registry on the
DC I get those DCs replicating again. Not that much work for a test
environment. I was wondering if you have some thoughts on this Cheers, Jorge From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells ... forgot to mention that any number of
rollbacks within the available timeframe takes (in our configuration) only
minutes (the most costly demand on the time to return-to-ready state is the
OS's bootstrap). -- From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells I've seen a slew of production and lab
scenario requests over the past year or so, many of which I've offered
non-technology specific recommendations for ... more recently I've focused my
efforts on a non-Microsoft solution that I developed for MSEtechnology, used
for some time in the Remote Learning arena, named ECbox (originally
defined as "Electronic Classroom in a Box" though more
recently internally-colloquially known as "Enterprise Computing in a
Box"). The solution was designed from its inception
to provide a means of snapshotting a distributed environment whose services
impose a potential requirement to roll-back the entire distributed
implementation to an earlier point in time (lock, stock and, hopefully not
too-smoking, barrel). As I mentioned, the ECbox is used extensively for
remote learning but MSEtechnology has also deployed it as a platform around
which our own internal technology services are housed. Simply put, the ECbox is a solution built
upon VMware ESX Server containing server (and administrative client-side mods.)
designed specifically to tailor ESX's feature set to the demands of
collective groups of dependent computers (e.g. a distributed database such
as Active Directory). For the sake of example, MSEtechnology is able to
roll its entire Directory, Web and Messaging service (though our
requirements are comparatively small, the scale is something of an irrelevant
factor in rollback capability and time) back to a multitude of daily earlier
points in time (MSEtechnology's current capacity/requirement allows for a
couple of weeks). Hope this proves useful. Regards. Dean -- From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard, Aric How about MSVS 2005, MSVPC 2004, or VMWare
(pick your flavor) with undo disks? From my experience this a lot faster and
typically cheaper than using a disk imaging utility and a slew of physical
machines. Regards, Aric From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
