After reboot, net logon services comes up as paused after ntds defrag on W2K3 AD

-

 

folks,

i had run defrag on ntds.dit database because had reached 1.2gb in size , running out of disk space on c:\ drive.  in order defrag it, ran procedure on ad virtual machine:

  • reboot
  • select appropriate installation boot menu, , press f8 display windows 2000 advanced options menu.
  • choose directory services restore mode , press enter. press enter again start boot process.
  • logon using password defined local administrator account in offline sam.
  • click start, programs, accessories, , click command prompt.
  • at command prompt, run ntdsutil command.
  • when ntdsutil has started
    • type files , press enter.
    • type info , press enter. this display current information path , size of active directory database , log files.
    • type compact drive:\directory , , press enter. be sure drive specified has enough drive space compacted database created. know, don't know how big compacted version be, if there enough space uncompacted version, should ok. gotcha!: you must specify directory path , if path name has spaces, command not work unless use quotation marks

      compact "c:\my new folder"

    • type quit , press enter.
    • type quit , press enter return command prompt. a new compacted database named ntds.dit can found in folder specified.
  • copy new ntds.dit file on old ntds.dit file. you have compacted active directory database.
  • reboot , see if normal.

all went after 1st reboot after compacting netlogon services comes paused after ntds defrag.  have snapshot of ad before of fix forward if possible, since have smaller ntds.dit , ad updated latest services packs.  once right click , resume netlogon service , seems work.  if reboot again, same thing happen.  here event id get.  appreciated besides info out there seems irrelevant situation.

enevt id 2103:

he active directory database has been restored using unsupported restoration procedure.
 
active directory unable log on users while condition persists. result, net logon service has paused.
 
user action
see previous event logs details.

more information, see , support center at

hello,

it sounds me, got success result failed database, either before compacting or during step.

i suggest follow marcin's suggestion removal of dc , cleaning ad database. not dc in domain.

just playing around ntds.dit file no solution way work.
