 have two domain controllers both server 2008, and the domain function level has been raised to 2008. We migrated from a single dc running server 2008 previously. If I run :

dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:win2k8dc1 >c:dcdiag.txt

I receive the following error:

Starting test: VerifyEnterpriseReferences

The following problems were found while verifying various important DN

references. Note, that these problems can be reported because of

latency in replication. So follow up to resolve the following

problems, only if the same problem is reported on all DCs for a given

domain or if the problem persists after replication has had

reasonable time to replicate changes.

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)
One of the challenges that a file server administrator faces
is knowing what kind of data is on the server. With FSRM,
gone are the days of a server hard drive filling up and nobody
knowing exactly why. Just a few simple mouse clicks and an
administrator can know what the data is, where the data is
located, and who owns the data in question.
This kind of information helps determine the kind of
backend storage that you need to purchase in the future, and
where you stand today. Some of the reports that are available
in the FSRM are: Large Files, Least Recently Accessed Files,
Most Recently Accessed Files, Quota Usage, Duplicate Files,
and Files by Owner.
