I'm not an expert on storage, but I had this error on Compaq servers for years and never had an issue with them. I ran 30 plus domain controllers which generated the error on build but went quiet post. Maybe someone else can give you an answer. In my experience it's no concern. BR
Rob ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Rodney Gardiner Sent: Mon 01/11/2004 23:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Write Cache Enabled I keep getting an error on one of our DC's stating that Write Disk Cache is enabled and if there is a system failure data corruption may occur. I have informed that this should not be enabled on a DC. I checked out Tech Net on the various errors I receive in the Event Viewer and it states generally the error can be ignored and that there is a hotfix that you must call Microsoft for to stop the error appearing. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830051 I was also informed that taking off the option for Write Disk Cache would have a big impact on the system performance. I understand it would have an impact but did not think it would be as big as I am being told. I was just after clarification as to whether it should be enabled on a DC or not. Any help would be appreciated. It is an SCSI Controller with Adaptec System SCSI Disk Device. It is the disk device that has Write Cache Enabled on it under its properties.

Rodney _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy White Sent: Tuesday, 2 November 2004 7:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] locked out This is probably caused by a virus. Use lockedoutstatus.exe to find out what where the lock outs are originating. Then check the event log of that DC to find out the perpetrating computer. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] locked out All gurus, Wonder if any of you have experienced this before. Suddently over the weekend, all domain accounts ( i mean all ) are locked out except the domain admin accounts. What could have caused this problem ? The only clue that I had is this is the week to change the summer time back but we had this done every year, had never had this issue before. Could this be a worm of some sort of virus. Looking into our security log it did not show me nything out of norm ( faild security , locked out has been turned on) Any suggestions will be appreciated.
