From: Michael Dragone on 12 Sep 2008 10:12 Any chance someone restored AD to an earlier point in time? Are you using any kind of virtualization? I would also run DCDIAG and NETDIAG just to make sure everything is copacetic.

From: gerrycurtis on 15 Sep 2008 04:47 Not to my knowledge though the AD Schema was changed by a School Database system [SIMS] that provisions users from the school admin database into AD. (We are a high school in the UK). The techs who carried this out assured me that it would not affect anything else in any way. I'm not using virtualisation but will run DCDIAG and NETDIAG just to check things out, though the rest of the network is fine. I will contact the SIMS guys again. Meanwhile I was wondering if I would screw up my whole exchange system if I re-ran the exchange AD schema setup again to try and repair it. On second thoughts this seems too drastic - I would love to be able to repair just the bit that was wrong if I knew what it was!

From: Michael Dragone on 15 Sep 2008 11:07 You might not be able to rerun the Exchange schema setup again if Exchange thinks it's already been done. If these problems started soon after these techs came in and modified your AD schema, well, there you go.

Cheers Big Al That may answer the question! This can't be coincidental. I will contact Capita now and see what they have to say! What School are you?
