Garbage Collection in Active Directory
This article gives users a short explanation on Garbage
Collection Process used by Windows Active Directory.
This article explains about the garbage collection
process used by Active Directory to clear out orphaned objects from Active
Directory Database file (ntds.dit).
|
|
Windows 2000/2003 Servers delete all tombstone objects after 60 days
after their original status. Active Directory sets isDeleted
attribute to TRUE after the 60 days automatically or when you delete an object
manually. This is because a tombstone object should be replicated to all domain
controllers in the domain (The domain partition). Otherwise objects will be
re-created in Active Directory.
You can also change the default
time.
If you want to change the default time you can modify the
tombstonelifetime
setting under cd=DirectoryServices,cn=WindowsNT,cn=Services,cn=Configuration,dc=DomainName
parameter which Microsoft does not recommend.
|
Each directory partition holds a container called Deleted
Object except Schema partition because you can not delete
objects from this partition. After deleting an object or setting isDeleted
attribute to TRUE Active Directory moves these records to Deleted Object
container in the partition that contained the
object.
Active Directory hides these Deleted Objects containers by
default, so to view them you must enable the Return Deleted
ObjectsLightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) control as
part of a search operation.
|

|
You can search Tombstone objects using LDP
found in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
Please note, a 2003 Forest created with SP1 will have
180 days as a tombstone life time.
