domain synchronization

[Jens Kalski]

Hello,
when I'm working with templates and batch-files for generating new users and their serverbased home- and userprofile-directories I've got the problem that before the rights for the directories can be given, the domain must be synchronized, because the PDC is not the server that hosts this directories. How can I realize that?

Re: domain synchronization

There is a NT Resource Kit utility called NLTEST.EXE that can be used in your batch file to force a sync prior to setting permissions.

The syntax looks to be:

/SYNC - Force SYNC on <ServerName> BDC
/PDC_REPL - Force UAS change message from <ServerName> PDC

You can also use the wait command to add in a pause to make sure the sync has time to finish before running the next command in your batch file.

The exact syntax is:

NLTEST /SYNC /SERVER:name_of_your_bdc
