Troubleshooting specific issues and resolving them is far superior to running an unattended repair. 
Running the Unattended Full Repair might require twice the amount of disk space currently used by 
the database files. See 

“Performing a Local Database Repair” on page 260

 for more information.

Rebuilding the operational indexes used by eDirectory is possible only when the local database is 
locked.

The following table lists the operations performed during an unattended full repair:

Operation

Database 
Locked?

Description

Database Structure and 
Index Checked

Yes

Reviews the structure and format of database records and 
indexes. This ensures that no structural corruption has been 
introduced into the eDirectory environment at the database 
level.

Rebuild the Entire 
Database

Yes

Resolves errors found during structure and index checks. It 
restores proper data structures and re-creates the eDirectory 
database and index files.

Perform Tree Structure 
Check

Yes

Examines the links between database records to make sure 
that each child record has a valid parent. This helps ensure 
database consistency. Invalid records are marked so that they 
can be restored from another partition replica during the 
eDirectory replica synchronization process.

Repair All Local Replicas Yes

Resolves eDirectory database inconsistencies by checking 
each object and attribute against schema definitions. It also 
checks the format of all internal data structures.

This operation can also resolve inconsistencies found during 
the tree structure check by removing invalid records from the 
database. As a result, all child records linked through the 
invalid record are marked as orphans. These orphan records 
are not lost, but this process could potentially generate a large 
number of errors while the database is being rebuilt. This is 
normal, and the orphan objects will be automatically 
reorganized over the course of replica synchronization.

Check Local References Yes

Local References are pointers to other objects maintained in 
the eDirectory database on this file server. This operation 
evaluates the internal database pointers to make sure that they 
are pointing to the correct eDirectory objects. If invalid 
references are found, they are corrected. This operation might 
take a long time to complete, depending on how many inter-
object relationships exist.

Repair Network 
Addresses

No

Checks server network addresses stored in eDirectory against 
the values maintained in local SAP, SLP, or DNS tables to 
make sure that eDirectory still has accurate information. If a 
discrepancy is found, eDirectory is updated with the correct 
information.

Validate Stream Syntax 
Files

Yes

Stream Syntax Files, such as login scripts, are stored in a 
special area of the eDirectory database. This operation checks 
to make sure that each stream syntax file is associated with a 
valid eDirectory object. If not, the stream syntax file is deleted 
and the attribute referencing it is purged.
