Dsastat.exe: Directory Services Utility

This command-line diagnostic tool compares and detects differences between naming contexts on domain controllers.

DsaStat can be used to compare two directory trees across replicas within the same domain or, in the case of a global catalog, across different domains. The tool retrieves capacity statistics such as megabytes per server, objects per server, and megabytes per object class, and performs comparisons of attributes of replicated objects.

Note

  • You must run DsaStat from the command window.

Corresponding UI

There is no corresponding user interface for this tool.

Concepts

The user specifies the targeted domain controllers and additional operational parameters from the command line. DsaStat determines whether domain controllers in a domain have a consistent and accurate image of their own domain. In the case of Global Catalogs, DsaStat checks to see if the Global Catalog has a consistent image with domain controllers in other domains. As a complement to the replication-monitoring tools, Repadmin Overview and Replmon Overview, DsaStat can be used to ensure that domain controllers are up to date with one another.
