Re: Can not see Services in Configuration Context in ADAM

Lee,

This is the process I used to backup and restore the ADAM instance to
another computer.

1. I added the "Built In" Administrators group to the ADAM Administrators
group under the Roles container in ADAM before the backup ran.

2. I built a new server.

3. Loaded ADAM and created an ADAM instance with the same name as the backup
server with the same ports and no application partition.

4. Restored ADAM from backup and I can see the naming context in both ADSI
Edit and LDP.

5. In the configuration partition, I can only see the sites container and
not the rest....

Please advise....

Thanks...

Hi

sorry this is quite hard to diagnose remotely...I think
we need to establish that the restore is good as at the
start of this thread you were having problems seeing
certain containers...

[1] What account are you using as the ADAM administrator?

[2] If you restore the backup to a clean install of ADAM
on the test server without creating an application paritition
and bind with the ADAM administrator account using ldp.exe
does the restored directory tree look like the original?

If the above look OK then we need to use the ADAM admin
account to look at the status of one of the ADAM user accounts
that is failing authn.

Lee,

I tried it both ways. I installed ADAM without an application partition
and
had the same result. Also, I can not bind to the restored directory as a
user
who has there password stored in ADAM???? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks...

Hi

having configuration NC under your application NC (dc=abc,dc=com)
does not look like a standard ADAM install. Do you have that structure
in the original ADAM instance?
When you installed ADAM on the test server before doing the restore
you should have just installed a clean ADAM instance with *no*
application
NC specified, the restore will create the application NC for you. Is that
what
you did?

Lee,

I tried expanding the configuration base via LDP. This is what I get in
LDP -

Expanding base 'CN=Configuration,dc=abc,dc=com'...
ldap_get_next_page_s failed: 32
Server error: 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001D2, problem 2001
(NO_OBJECT),

Error 0x208D Directory object not found.

Matched DNs: DC=abc,DC=com
Getting 0 entries:

I have just recently restored ADAM to a test server (Another Computer)
and
have been able to get into it and see the application partition. When
I
go
through ADSI and try and look at the configuration partition all I see
is
the
CN=Sites container and I can not access the CN=Services context, I get
an
error message "Invalid path". Please advise...

Thanks,
