Not knowing what your script does for sure, keep in mind that as objects
are deleted they are first 'tombstoned' before being purged. Therefore
the space initially used by the object prior to being deleted is not
completely available for reuse a portion of it will continue to be
consumed by the tom
7;t a lot of transactions per say against AD. Thanks for the heads up.

All the script does is either Adds users (a few at a time), u
DCs in all domains or just one (if more than one
domain)
This is happening on both domain controllers.

This doesn't appear to be the cause based on how things appear to be
looking, but if your DC's are Windows 2000, then another thing to check
would be ACL's on objects. Those can cause sudden and noticeable database
growth since inheritable ACL's will get copied to the child objects they
apply to.

No it would not, auth restoring just a bunch of regular 'ol objects would
not cause lots of tombstones.
You have some sort of object creation/deletion
cause then you could
Excel/Access the data and see what it looks like.
