Management Active Directory database for Windows Server 2008 R2

The Active Directory database includes database file Ntds.dit and log files. For best performance, it is recommended that log files and database files be in a separate hard drive or raid in a production environment, and that there is sufficient space left on the disk, depending on the size of the network. Because the Active Directory database is a self-sustaining system, it generally does not require routine maintenance (in addition to backup). However, there are times when the following conditions may be managed:

Low disk space, current hardware failure, and physical space to be restored after a large number of global edits are removed or removed.

The management of the Active Directory database includes movement, compression (defragmentation), and so on.

In this experiment, an environment that is deployed as one of the Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory is the operating environment.

Experiment Request:

Compress the Active Directory database to move the Active Directory database to C:\ntds

Experiment steps:

1, System backup. To prevent the experiment from failing, it is strongly recommended to back up the system before the Experiment (abbreviated)
