Cleaning up metadata

Previous Next



Cleaning up metadata

When a server is promoted to a domain controller, configuration data is added to Active Directory®. When the domain controller is demoted successfully to a member server, the configuration data is removed. If the demotion is unsuccessful, the configuration data remains. Run this job to remove the configuration data.

To clean up metadata
1
Select Active Directory Health | Troubleshooter.
2
Open the Jobs tab.
3
Double-click Start metadata cleanup.
4
Click Next on the information page.

Depending on the state of the objects in the directory, the cleanup job may not be able to determine the correct path to the object it will clean up. Entering the distinguished name of the server will increase the success of the cleanup job.

Running online defrag

Running online defrag

To optimize the Active Directory® database, periodically run online defragmentation to redistribute data and free disk space for the database to use. The size of the database does not shrink. Optionally, you can run garbage collection prior to online defragmentation to remove tombstones, which are remains of objects that were deleted, and to delete unnecessary log files.

To start online defrag
1
Select Active Directory Health | Troubleshooter.
2
Open the Jobs tab.
3
Double-click Start online defrag.
