Still seems like you're doing it the hard way.  If you don't trust that dc, is there a reason it cannot be rebuilt? I'm guessing that's not the only dc and that it's the only one giving you issues.

You can't ask that, coz that'd be troubleshooting :-^

Are you able to RDP to the DC when it "hangs"?

Its not for troubleshooting, its so we can tell when the DC is hung, you cant tell when its hung because our monitoring software only pings by ip and it responds.  If it replies, I know it can serve ldap queries, and then i can rpc ping it and make sure that authentication requests will be answered.  Its just to do a quick check of whats going on first thing in the morning.

So you ldap ping the DC and it replies or it does not. What does this tell you? How does it help troubleshoot the issue?
 
I'd suggest more detailed tools are needed such as network / packet sniffers etc. They should be able to build a picture of the situation better than a ping which offers little more than a 'yes/no' response.

Hey all,
 
Does anyone know of a command line utility that allows you to test ldap connections?  We have a dc that hangs, but remains pingable and I would like to do ldap pings to it to as well as rpc pings.  I know about the rpc ping utility, but I wanted to test for ldap connectivity as well.  Does anyone know of a utility like this?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Nate
