15.15. Changing How Tombstone Objects Count Against Quota Usage
Tip
This recipe requires a Windows Server 2003 domain controller.
Problem
You want to change the relative weight of tombstone objects in quota calculations.
Solution
Using a graphical user interface
Open ADSI Edit.
Connect to the partition on which you want to modify this setting (has to be done on a per partition basis).
In the left pane, expand the root of the partition.
Right-click on
cn=NTDS Quotas
and select Properties.Set the
msDS-TombstoneQuotaFactor
attribute to a value between 0 and 100.Click OK.
Using a command-line interface
Create an LDIF file called change_tombstone_quota.ldf with the following contents:
dn: cn=NTDS Quotas,<PartitionDN>
changetype: modify replace: msDs-TombstoneQuotaFactor msDs-TombstoneQuotaFactor:<0-100>
-
then run the following command:
> ldifde -v -i -f change_tombstone_quota.ldf
Using VBScript
' This code modifies the tombstone quota factor for the specified partition ' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------ strPartitionDN = "<PartitionDN
>" ' e.g. dc=rallencorp,dc=com intTombstoneFactor = <0-100
> ' e.g. 50 ' ------ END CONFIGURATION --------- set objPart = GetObject("LDAP://cn=NTDS Quotas," & strPartitionDN ) objPart.Put "msDs-TombstoneQuotaFactor", intTombstoneLifetime objPart.SetInfo WScript.Echo "Set the tombstone quota factor for " & _ strPartitionDN & " to " & intTombstoneFactor
Discussion
The tombstone quota factor is a percentage that determines how much each tombstone object counts against a ...
