Re: adprep /forestprep failure - directory service busy
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your time.
I check the MPS report. I found everything is ok on network,
replication,
Ladp query etc. After doing further research, I found other customers
encounter the same issue when their Exchange serves reside on domain
server.
Analysis:
=======
When running 'Forest prep', Windows will use Ladp protocol to update
AD
database. However, meanwhile, Exchange server may open lots of ports
to
connect Ladp port on DC to do some operations, such as querying,
update
information from AD database. In conclusion, system is too busy to
echo the
Ladp operation of "forestprep" and the error message "Directory
Service Is
Busy" comes out.
So, I suggest transferring Schema role to other DC which is not
running
Exchange server, then run 'forest prep' on that DC to test the
result.
Addtionally, I noticed '0xc007056b' error in application log, which
is
related to Exchange server. I recommend you also post this thread in
the
below Exchange queues to confirm if domain server running Exchange may
lead
to "Directory Service Is Busy" problem when running "forest prep"
command.

microsoft.public.exchange.applications
The engineers and communities there are more specialized in Exchange
field
and will assist you more professionally.
