I am working at SP4 and am patched up to date. I got a recommendation from the microsoft folks to set the ctr-scroll lock reg key on or DC so it wont hang and it will actually blue screen and generate a memory dump. If you cannot remember that kb article Mark, or what it had to do with, I think I will go ahead and set the key so the dmp can be evaluated. The DC is taking NTFRS errors, so I had to set the enable journal wrap value to add it back into the replica set following deletion from the set due to corruption. I still don’t think this should cause the system to hang as it does.

I remember when I was working at a "big bank" we used to have this issue on certain DC's and it was escalated quite high within MS and was never fully resolved but it was something to do with RDP/TS remote admin - please excuse my vagueness but it was 4 years ago. Under SP3 it was terrible - SP4 it was bearable - some totally unrelated KB which had a snippet ie can also cause this - resolved the issue. If I can find my old Black and Red for that period, I will let you know the KB.

We have tools that do everything from NetIQ Application manager to HP Openview to Ethereal, but if I get here in the morning, and I want to do a quick functions check of the system, I will need a compilation of tools that can test things up and down the OSI model, and then I will probably parse through that output for sucesses and failures. Much like the eventcomb tool that takes a list of systems and parses through their event logs and pulls out things I would want to see, its lightweight and gives me only what I request.

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.

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. My 2 penneth :) neil ---------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bahta, Nathaniel V CTR USAF NASIC/SCNA Sent: 04 August 2006 13:54 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] LDAP Ping 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 PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
