Hello All, I have googled and no one has any info on what this is and what it does. Basically, one of our DC's crashed and it was beyond repair so I had to do a metadata cleanup. When I went to ADSIEDIT to delete the computer object, I knew it would have FRS subscriptions, but it also had this other sub-object called "router identity" so, the class is rRASAdministrationConnectionPoint but these weren't RAS servers. I have another DC in the domain which also has it, it is up and running fine. As the first DC was dead and would never be accesible again, I decided to delete the DC computer (container) object for the dead DC. Nothing bad has happened, but can anyone tell me anything about this "Router Identity" leaf object? Thanks!!!!
I don't know anything about it really, but that object is the connection point for RRAS: -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/c_rrasadministrationconnectionpoint.asp Perhaps this will help: -- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/abbc6145-06ed-428c-8fb6-44a3f2203341.mspx -- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/387b6ff5-9ae8-4a70-94d6-d2a427e0b336.mspx -- Paul Williams Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - Directory Services http://www.msresource.net | http://forums.msresource.net
I have never seen those objects created except when the RAS software is loaded on a server. -- Joe Richards Microsoft MVP Windows Server Directory Services www.joeware.net - wrote: > Hello All, > > I have googled and no one has any info on what this is and what it does. > Basically, one of our DC's crashed and it was beyond repair so I had to do a > metadata cleanup.

I'd say it's a safe bet that you can delete this object safely if the computer is no longer part of AD, or no longer has RAS. -- Joseph Daigle
