Chapter 19. Troubleshooting

From time to time during the course of your directory service's lifetime, things will go wrong. Sometimes these problems will result in degradation of performance. Sometimes they will cause the directory to fail completely. When something does go wrong, your objective should be to minimize the damage, return the directory to full service as quickly as possible, and understand the problem so that you can take steps to prevent its recurrence .

Directory problems can be broken down into four major groups:

  • Directory outages as a result of hardware or software failure

  • Performance problems

  • Problems with directory data

  • Security problems

In this chapter we examine each of these categories in detail and provide examples of each. We also suggest a step-by-step approach for dealing with directory problems as they arise. We conclude with troubleshooting checklists that help you resolve some typical directory problems.
