Hi All
So I am currently going through my AD and have come to a bit of a stumbling block in terms of my ISTG setup!
I have a Windows 2003 Func Level AD with one Windows 2008 R2 DC as well for a total 10 DC's
Previous team decided to create manual Intra and Inter Site links and so appear to have disabled ISTG
- I have used the AD Topology Diagram to create a diagram of my AD and this also says my Inter and Intra STG is disabled
- So today I ran dcdiag and it confirmed that out of my 10 DC's 8 have IntraSTG disabled. This confused me as my ADTD says that ALL sites have Inter and IntraSTG disabled?!?!
- I have run Dcdiag Topology and it does not say anywhere that InterSTG is disabled on all/any sites
- I have ran Dcdiag and it does say that out of 10 servers 8 have IntraSTG disabled
- I have carried out the following instructions [webiste url below] and in the integer under NTSD Options I have 32 for the servers that appear to not have Intra enabled and 1 for the two servers that have Intra Enabled
http://www.isaacoben.com/2009/03/23/how-to-configure-inter-or-intra-site-topology-generator-istg-in-active-directory/
I can not find out what the Integer 32 means?!
The list shows
ISTG Reference numbers:
0:To Enable ISTG
1:To disable automatic intrasite topology generation
16:To disable automatic intersite topology generation
17:To disable both intrasite and inter-site topology generation
So, in summary what I want to do [and the questions for your guys here] is as follows
- Validate which Sites have IntraSTG Enabled
- Validate which sites have InterSTG Enabled
- Find out how to enabled both ISTGS's as we want to revert back to automatically created links
