The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Corrupted domain controller replication

Asked by lamontc in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: , ,

Hey experts;

I'm running a Win2k3 server as a global catalog DC for our company that also runs Exchange. We had an issue with Exchange/AD corruption a few weeks ago and I had to restore the system state using NTBackup. Somehow, AD didn't fully cooperate with me, and so I then demoted the DC using dcpromo and reinstalled it from another global catalog DC in a remote office.

The problem is that now, the restored DC is giving me continual replication warnings that it cannot replicate with the corrupted, previous version of itself that it thinks is still active. In AD Sites and Services, my DC has two "NTDS Settings"....one for my secondary DC, and one named "NTDS Settings
CNF:1569a4a2-45b2-47cb-8038-06c947043d64", which is the corrupt version of itself.

I've attempted to delete this setting, but it will not go away. I've used ntdsutil.exe to try to clean up my DC's metadata, and when I try to delete the bad version, I get an error: The connected server will not remove its own metadata.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?Start Free Trial
