Enterprise directory service domain controller replication alert and repair
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring replication of domain controllers and correcting problems with replication within a directory service environment, the method comprising:
- querying the director service for replication information;
determining whether an error exist;
correcting the error if an error exists; and
visually displaying information regarding the progress of the domain controller replication process, wherein the information includes the identity of domain controller replication partners and the status of the replication process between any two domain controller replication partners.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for monitoring and correcting directory service domain controller replication errors is provided. In one embodiment, a replication monitor queries the director service for replication information and determines whether an error exists. If an error is determined to exist, then the replication monitor consults a database of known error types and associated corrective actions to determine the appropriate corrective action. The appropriate corrective action is then performed. The replication monitor also visually displays information regarding the progress of the domain controller replication process, wherein the information includes the identity of domain controller replication partners and the status of the replication process between any two domain controller replication partners, including whether, for example, errors have been determined and whether corrective action is being or has been taken.

25. A graphical user interface for providing a user with information concerning a domain controller replication process in a directory service environment, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
visual representations of domain controllers within the environment; and
visual indicia indicating an identity of a domain controller'"'"'s replication partner;
whereinthe visual indicia indicate whether errors in the replication process exist between the domain controller and the domain controller'"'"'s replication partner. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
