Dcdiag.exe /v >> c:temppre_dcdiag.txt
This is a must and will always tell you if there is trouble with your DCs and/or services associated with it
Netdiag.exe /v >> c:temppre_Netdiag.txt
This will
let me know if there are issues with the networking components on the
DC. This along with the post test also is a quick easy way to ensure
the patch I just installed is really installed (just check the top of
the log)
Netsh dhcp show server >> c:temppre_dhcp.txt
Some
may not do this but I”ve felt the pain of a DHCP server somehow not
being authorized after a patch. This allows me verify the server count
and names.
Repadmin /showreps >> c:temppre_rep_partners.txt
This
shows all my replication and if it was successful or not. Just be
aware that Global Catalogs will have more info here than a normal domain
controller.
repadmin /replsum /errorsonly >> c:temppre_repadmin_err.txt
This is the one that always takes forever but will let you know who you are having issues replicating with.
