Introduction
samba-tool provides a subcommand for testing LDAP replication between Domain Controllers - regardless if they are running Samba or Windows or mixed.
Restrictions
- The comparisation works via LDAP. So the LDAP server must be up and accessible at port 389.
- It compares values of attributes of objects returned only by wild-card search so no hidden attributes are processed.
- There are certain amount of attributes being ignored explicitly in the script source that have always different values on corresponding objects in two separate DCs.
How to use?
- Compare the entire directory on Domain Controller DC1 and DC2:
# samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator
- Compare single AD partitions on Domain Controller DC1 and DC2:
# samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator domain # samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator configuration # samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator schema # samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator dnsdomain # samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator dnsforest
Filter non-synced attributes
- Some attribute are known to be different between dc, you can filter them out with the "--filter" switch
- Example without any filter on a perfectly working replication:
# samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator domain Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]: * Comparing [DOMAIN] context... * Objects to be compared: 308 Comparing: 'CN=Builtin,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com' [ldap://DC1] 'CN=Builtin,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com' [ldap://DC2] Attributes found only in ldap://DC1: serverState FAILED Comparing: 'DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com' [ldap://DC1] 'DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com' [ldap://DC2] Attributes found only in ldap://DC1: serverState msDS-NcType FAILED * Result for [DOMAIN]: FAILURE SUMMARY --------- Attributes found only in ldap://DC1: msDS-NcType serverState ERROR: Compare failed: -1
- And with the filter:
# samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://DC1 ldap://DC2 -Uadministrator domain --filter=msDS-NcType,serverState Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]: * Comparing [DOMAIN] context... * Objects to be compared: 308 * Result for [DOMAIN]: SUCCESS
