FYI - we run with an external db, not the registry but have you tried the slapcat command to make a ldif file? We run scheduled batch file to make an ldif file every night :
D:\Imail\OpenLDAP\Bin\slapcat -l d:\imail\backup.ldif -f D:\Imail\OpenLDAP\Bin\slapd.conf -n 1 That ldif can be re-imported into the ldif with the slapadd command D:\Imail\OpenLDAP\Bin\slapadd -c -f slapd.conf -b o=mail.xyz.com -l d:\imail\backup.ldif ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 12:59 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP Problems > > Seron Moore wrote: > > From time to time our Ldap service will hog up 100% of the CPU usage > > and cause the server to become non responsive.
