If you are on a
Windows 2000 be careful of copy and paste, better off using ntbackup!: Junctions graft the namespace (any bounded area in which a
specific name can be resolved) of the destination file system location to an
NTFS volume. An underlying reparse point permits NTFS to transparently remap an
operation to the destination object. As a result, if you modify the data in the
Sysvol structure, changes occur directly on these physical files. Additionally,
if you perform a cut-and-paste operation or a copy-and-paste operation with
these folders in the Sysvol structure that contains junction points, the
cut-and-paste operation or the copy-and-paste operation occur in the junction
point information. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324175 Thanks... ... ... ... Sergio J. Olivarez -

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Justin, you wouldn't lose your AD data by deleting NTFRS Jet database.
AD data is stored in ntds.dit file under Systemroot\Ntds\ folder. What you would want to do is to copy everything
from SYSTEMROOT\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\DOMAIN.com\ to another folder
for backup measures, before you perform that action. If you read the event 13555, it is explains on how to delete jet
database as well. Also, restart your NTFRS & NETLOGON services. Stop NTFRS,
and NETLOGON, and then start NETLOGON and then NTFRS. Hope that helps.

What
do you think? When you perform these actions, the idea is that you delete the
FRS database and logs, and when you restart the services these will be
recreated using replicated information from other DCs in the domain? I think
that's the part I'm unclear about: Does this process end with me losing all of
my AD data for the problematic domain? Justin Clay
