I can think of 2 things that may help - 1 is the netlogon log - and 2 is a network sniff from the client during the "nltest /sc_query:domain" The netlogon log may simply show the denieds but - it may shows something else which may be useful as well. steve - Original Message -

[ActiveDir] NTDS.DIT Size

2006-06-29 Thread Joshua Coffman
Our AD (NTDS.dit) is at 1.7GB (approx. 250,000 users). Should an offline defrag be performed at a regular interval? Some articles I read only say it is only worthwhile if you are running low on space.We have plenty of drive space and RAM. At what point should the AD be moved to 64 bit?

Hello Joshua, Id look at the whitespace to determine when to offline defrag a DC. You can enable the associated event which will tell you the amount of whitespace by setting the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Diagnostics\6 Garbage Collection to 1 instead of 0

I wasn't aware that this was a change in SP1, but it sounds as if StrictNameChecking is enabled on your server after you've added SP1 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281308) You ca disable it in general by configuring the DisableStrictNameChecking reg-key as the KB

1.7GB for 250.000 users is pretty small already - I guess you don't use Exchange for messaging or use extremely few attributes of your objects in AD. With the steps outlined by Ulf you should get a fair idea on how much whitespace you currently have, however, you shouldn't expect to have

Sounds like hes probably just not populating many attributes. Ive got double that DIT size at a client with half the number of users easily. Ive also never had a reason to defrag a dit when I can just dcpromo down/up if I think it will fix a database issue. Thanks, Brian Desmond
