Answer D & E was correct!
By default Windows 2000 servers running directory services will perform a directory online defragmentation every 12 hours (by default) as part of the garbage collection process. This defragmentation only moves data around the database file (NTDS.DIT) and does not reduce its size.
NTDSUTIL.EXE (AD Diagnostic Tool) is a command line utility used to perform maintenance on the Active Directory database, NTDS.DIT. NTDSUTIL.EXE is used for OFFLINE defrag of AD in order to reduce the size of the AD database. The size of NTDS.DIT will grow as it is modified. To reduce it's size, you must take the DC offline (in Directory Services Restore mode) and perform an offline defrag. |
