On a regular basis, run the iMonitor Server Information report. This report walks the entire tree, communicates with every NCP server it can find, and reports any errors it finds. You can use this report to diagnose time synchronization and limber problems, or to find out if the current server is able to communicate with all other servers from this server’s perspective. If selected in the configuration page, the server can also generate NDS Agent Health information for every server in the tree. See Configuring and Viewing Reports
in the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide for more information on running the Server Information report.
