RE: [ActiveDir] NDTS.DIT sizes

[neil.ruston]

A more likely explanation (assuming 30Mb is small compared to the overall DIT file size) is that this database is more fragmented than the other databases on the other DCs.   The amount of whitespace consumed within a database can be ascertained via this KB: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Operations/975c456e-8b79-4ace-8363-82543236dbb3.mspx   neil   ___________________________ Neil Ruston Global Technology Infrastructure Nomura International plc Telephone: +44 (0) 20 7521 3481   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hogenauer Sent: 17 October 2005 16:39 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] NDTS.DIT sizes Odd question   I have 8 different DC’s in a few sites; replication seems to be working great, all servers’ windows 2003 ENT. All servers have plenty of disk space.   When I look at the actual size of my ntds.dit file, it’s relatively the same on all DC’s except for one which is 30 MB larger than the others and the last date modified is 8/9/05, this server holds no roles either. Does this mean that I’m having FRS problems on this server?   Thanks in advance, Mike   PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
