Hi
joe,
Two questions:
-
Are lingering
objects the same as phantom objects?
-
The help for repadmin
on my 2003/SP1 DCs doesnt indicate a /removelingeringobjects option.
What version do you have that lets you do this?
Thanks!

Ps. Had a good
time at DEC2006; the 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.

Objects
I have many problems with
lingering objects. I would like to solve them.
I Recive this message when
I use repadmin
/showreps:

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
