Partial Domain Synchronization Using Server Manager Does Not Work (255227)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q255227

SYMPTOMS

When partial domain synchronization requests are issued through Server Manager, they may not succeed and Event Viewer may record neither success nor failure events. However, full synchronization requests that use the net accounts /sync command from the primary domain controller (PDC) work correctly and Event Viewer logs the successful synchronization.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when an earlier installation of Novell NetWare Directory Services (NDS) for Windows NT was not fully removed from the PDC.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, completely remove the Novell NDS program from the PDC.
