Hi joe,
Two questions:
-
Are “lingering
objects” the same as “phantom objects”?
-
The help for repadmin on
my 2003/SP1 DCs doesn’t indicate a “/removelingeringobjects”
option. What version do you have that lets you do this?
Thanks!

collection of brainpower there was awesome!

Objects
You will probably want to look at repadmin
/removelingeringobjects, you can find it listed in the expert help of repadmin.
I have a utility up on my website that can
help find lingering objects as well, including some that repadmin won't
find[1]. It is called GCCHK.

this, he has been playing with it quite a bit.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Lingering
Objects
I have many problems with lingering objects. I would like
to solve them.
I Recive this message when I use repadmin /showreps:
|
HQSite\DC1 via RPC
objectGuid: 2521a874-d379-4281-8744-4bd34c792026
Last attempt @ 2002-01-21 16:10.54 failed, result 8240:
There is no such object on the server.
Last success @ (never).

I have read this Ms article (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317097 - Lingering objects prevent
Active Directory replication from occurring)
How
can I discover with object is that and how to delete it? CAN I find a server
that does not have the Object to rehost from?
Does
anyone have anything else about this problem? I have many (about 165) dc´s with
about 80 GC´s. I have many problems with replication.... The Strict
replication Consistency 0 is making things better . but tin some of them the
problems remains.
I
wait for your help...

Re: [ActiveDir] DC Demotion & AD Site
Configuration
|
|
The whole point of a site is to have a DC in it isn't it? Therefore you should
cleanup the unnecessary sites and associate subnets with sites you want them to
be a part of. The DC locator will only do its job correctly if DNS is right.
DNS will be correct if you maintain a nice sites and services plan and clean up
all other unnecessary records in DNS.
In my opinion "a" is the way to go.

Hey guys,
Single Windows 2003 Domain.
I have 5 core sites and 70 branch offices. Each of the core sites host 2 x dc's
and each branch office has a DC.
The design is legacy from NT4 whereby we had a BDC at each of the branch
offices as they had slow WAN links at the time. During the upgrade, each of the
BDC's were made dc's. Each dc is located in it's own AD Site & IP Subnet
defined.
Our concerns are that some of these remote dc's are located in insecure
environments, i.e the are just a server sat in an unlocked closet in a business
office environment.
We've just completed an WAN upgrade and our links are minimum of 1mb to each of
the remote offices.
This is good news for us, as we can now demote most of the remote dc's (about
60 of them)
My question is regarding the cleanup process. We have 75 AD Sites created with
a subnet assigned to each site. Once the demotion process takes place, will I
need to
a) add the IP subnet to the core site so that the branch office is serviced by
the dc's located there and then delete the old AD Site which no longer holds a
dc.
b) leave the AD site in existance with the IP Subnet assigned and let the DC
locator service find a DC for the client to authenticate to? (this means I am
left with a load of un-needed Sites in AD..I assume)
We also use DFS but moving to DFS-R shortly.
Thoughts anyone?
Jim
