This post will show you how to check if your domain controller is healthy and is functioning in right way. Lets say we want to run check against server named “TestDC”. For this we will use domain admin account “testadmin” with password “Pa$$w0rd”. To start check open command line on your Windows server 2003 and type:
dcdiag /s:TestDC /u:testdomain.com\testadmin /p:*
After you will hit Enter password prompt will appear.
Note that dcdiag is part of Windows server 2003 support tools. They can be found on your OS CD (Support\Tools) .
