RE: [ActiveDir] NDTS.DIT sizes

[Bernard, Aric]

In many environments, 30 MB would be considered a small difference in sizes between DITs.  In a very small environment I have, the difference is 18 MB.  In large environments I have seen differentials in the GBs.  In many cases larger differentials are due to white space in the DIT.   As for FRS, there should be no relation between problems it is having and the size of the DIT.     Regards,   Aric   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hogenauer Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 8:38 AM 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
