ADAM and AD LDS have diagnostic utilities—dsdiag for ADAM and dcdiag for AD LDS. Use these utilites to check the health of an ADAM or AD LDS instance. These utilities perform many checks on the ADAM/AD LDS instance, including verifying the integrity of the ADAM/AD LDS datafiles and checking whether errors have been written to the Windows event log during the past hour.
To run an ADAM/AD LDS healthcheck
On the Application Server, open a command prompt.
On servers running Windows 2003, change to the C:\Windows\ADAM directory.
Note:
On Windows 2008 servers, skip this step.
On Windows 2003 servers, at the command prompt, type
dsdiag /s:localhost:389 /c /a /skip:Services
or
On Windows 2008 servers, at the command prompt, type
dcdiag /s:localhost:389 /c /a /skip:Services
Sample output from running the dsdiag utility on Windows 2003:
