RE: waiting for active directory to start...HELP!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

hi Gary,

thanks for the quick reply.

obviously i cant check the server with the waiting for active directory to
start... message on it as it's currently installing but i did look at the
other DC and under the NTDS folder i only have the default string with now
value. under NTDS i have 4 folders - diags, parameters, performance and RID
values. all have dword and string values in them but none saying "Allow
replication with divergent and corrupt partners".

let me know what you think.

thanks

Hi Will,

Can you tell me if you have any keys set with values under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS

Specifically "Allow replication with divergent and corrupt partners" ?

anyhow let me know....
