• DCDiag and NetDiag Gui
  
  If you need to run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain. Microsoft has written two good command line utilities that provide information to help troubleshoot problems you maybe experiencing. Knowing which switch options to select may not always be simple, but with this front end click and go.
  
  You will still need the command line tools DCDiag and NetDiag. If you don't have the tools installed, you can install them from your server install disk.
  d:\support\tools\setup.exe -or- The links to the files reside on the script download page listed below.
  
  The script provides the option to run individual tests without having to learn all the switch options. It automagically outputs the test details to a text file and calls this text file up at the completion of the test. This makes it much easier to read and save the details for future use and analysis.
  
  The front end is an hta file that provides check boxes, radio buttons and dialogue boxes for input. You have the option to select the local server or a remote DC via a text box. This script is customizable.
  
  The storage location of the script storage of the output logfiles and diagnostic tools are modified by a const definition in the working storage section.
  The script is at http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/windows.htm, download it and save it to:
  c:\program files\support tools\
  
  Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)
  When complete search for fail, error and warning messages

  If you have a domain where your RID FSMO is no longer capable of assining new RID pools this document and the available download should help. The download simply provides info on your domain which you then use on an LDP connection to invalidate the remaining RID Pool which triggers AD to start a new pool. It is very simple and straight forward.
