This tool identifies common problems that can prevent your network environment from functioning properly as well as problems that can interfere with infrastructure upgrades, deployments, and migration.

When run from a computer with the proper network access, the tool takes a few minutes to scan your IT environment, perform more than 100 separate checks, and collect and analyze information about the following:


- Configuration of sites and subnets in Active Directory
- Replication of Active Directory, the file system, and SYSVOL shared folders
- Name resolution by the Domain Name System (DNS)
- Configuration of the network adapters of all domain controllers, DNS servers, and e-mail servers running Microsoft Exchange Server
-Health of the domain controllers
- Configuration of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for all domain controllers


If a problem is found, the tool describes the problem, indicates the severity, and links you to guidance at the Microsoft Web site (such as a Knowledge Base article) to help you resolve the problem. You can save or print a report for later review. The tool does not change anything on your computer or your network

Instalación de AD LDS (ADAM) en Windows 2008




Requirements for AD LDS Installation and Removal

AD LDS installation requirements include the following:

- A supported operating system such as W2008 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter
- An account with local administration access rights

To remove AD LDS from a W2008 server, you must log on to the server by using an account that has local administrator rights. You then do the following:

- Use Programs And Features in Control Panel to uninstall any instance of AD LDS youcreated after the role installation.

- Use Server Manager to remove the AD LDS role.

Take care to ensure that you remove all AD LDS instances from a server before you remove the role itself.

Remember that you need to remove all instances of AD LDS from a server before you can
remove the role from the server.

Installing AD LDS on Server Core

To install AD LDS on a Server Core installation of W2008, log on with local administrative
credentials to a W2008 member or standalone server running Server Core and enter the following
command:

start /w ocsetup DirectoryServices-ADAM-ServerCore

Note that this command is case-sensitive. Using the start /w command ensures that the command prompt does not return until the role installation is complete. You can verify that the role is installed and discover the role name (DirectoryServices-ADAM-ServerCore) by using the following command:
