NDS / eDirectory Health Check Procedures

Frequency

Static Tree Every Month on every Server
Dynamic Tree Every Week on every Server

Steps

  1. Check DS Versions and Timesync 
    ndsrepair -T
  2. Check Server-to-Server Synchronization 
    ndstrace

    Within ndstrace enter: 

    #enables screen and file logging to the ndstrace.log file
SET NDSTRACE=ON

#turns off all preset filters
SET NDSTRACE=NODEBUG

#enables filtering of synchronization traffic
SET NDSTRACE=+SKLK

#heartbeat; initiates synchronization between file servers
SET NDSTRACE=*H

    check log file 

    ndsconfig get n4u.server.log-file
  3. Check Replica Synchronization status
    ndsrepair -E
  4. Check external references 
    ndsrepair -C -Ad -A
  5. Check Replica States 
    ndsrepair -P
  6. Check Schema Synchronization 
    ndstrace

    Within ndstrace enter: 

    #enables screen and file logging to the ndstrace.log file
SET NDSTRACE=ON

#turn off all preset filters
SET NDSTRACE=NODEBUG

#enables filter of schema synchronization traffic
SET NDSTRACE=+SCMA

Additionally you can look at the schema-related operations for both inbound and outbound by entering:

SET NDSTRACE=+SCMD
#initiates synchronization of all schemas
SET NDSTRACE=*SS

    check log file 

    ndsconfig get n4u.server.log-file
  7. Repair Local Database 
    ndsrepair -R
