Hello phoenix,

Well if you think you have replication problems start with repadmin
/showrepl and post the output. Additional post an unedited ipconfig
/all from all DC's so that we can exclude DNS as a problem.

servers have this error...

dcdiag.exe /e /s:<servername> /test:frsevent

Starting test: frsevent
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after
the
SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may
cause
Group Policy problems.
......................... Server1 failed test frsevent
Sometimes I get the error about the last 24 hours but the statement
at the end states that it passed. I am very confused.
We have computer renames not going though at times and I'm pinning
it down to this. But cannot be sure.

Can anyone help ?

Joe's tools will do this...and, it would more be the Domain
Controller...dcdiag.exe /c /v is what I always use (well,
generally speaking). It will tell you if a Domain Controller is
advertising as a Global Catalog server.

Repadmin will also tell you (the IS_GC entry). I *believe* that
with replmon you can view all Global Catalog servers....per their
little diagram. I know that replmon will tell you without using
the little diagram!

Hello phoenix,

Install the suptools.msi from the installation disk
support\tools folder and run dcdiag and replmon or repadmin.
Also netdiag will give you a good help. Check the /? for any
tool to see the available options.

Also dnslint is helpful:

I'm looking for two things. I definately remember a tool
during my msce days thats checks the health of ad. I need
something that checks if the global catalog is alive and
working.. etc.. for troubleshooting ad connectivity, and
health.

Secondly what is available as a vbscript to do the same ?
Anyone come across anything ?

Cheers,

Would it tell me if the global catolog was down or not available
?

anyway of runnign repadmin from a workstation like dcdiag ??

I've just been going through all the options.
