How to properly remove replicas from iDS 5.0 servers

How to properly remove replicas and their associated entries from directory servers?
This question may seem trivial, however the reason I am asking this is that shortly after replicas are removed from supplier and consumer servers, slapd.exe generates an error on both machines, usually within 2 to 3 minutes after removal. That causes servers to restart and any other program connected to one of those two machines has to be restarted as well (or at least recconnected to them), which is very annoying, especially if those programs are in the middle of some processing and need to write or retrieve something from LDAP server.
I am using iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 SP1, on two Win2K machines. One server has a single master replica, other is the consumer - a tipical test configuration.
The documentation (Administrator's guide) is quite extensive in describing how to set up replication, but there is nothing on how to bring replicas down.
I can only imagine that entries should be removed in reverse order as they were created (directory entries, replication agreement, databases, suffixes, etc...), and that has been tried numerous times. Nevertheless, the problem persists.
Can anyone please help me?

It would help if you could tell us which error is occuring on the servers...
Anyway the way to stop replication is :
1) Remove replication agreements.
2) Disable Replica.
That should be enough.
You don't need to remove the entries, database not suffixes.

Ludovic.

  • How to properly remove "Network" from Windows Explorer and Save Dialog boxes?

    I've recently rolled out Windows 7 and noticed that in some applications (Office 2003 - yes we are due for an upgrade - happening later this year), when a user clicks the down arrow in a "Save As" dialog box to view the available locations - a
    list of seemingly every computer in the broadcast domain is generated and displayed.  This takes about 30-45 seconds.  I don't want my users to be able to view a list of every computer in their broadcast domain, and I especially don't want them to
    be presented with said list every time they try to save something.  In newer apps, the list is not automatically displayed but is still accessible by clicking the "Network" selection.
    What is the proper way to remove this?
    I've tried the following:
    1) Disabling the NetBios over TCPIP service - works but prevents other things from working properly.
    2) Disabling the Computer Browser service - does not work.
    3) Changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder\Attributes from b0040064 to b0940064 as suggested here -http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/39699-network-add-remove-navigation-pane.html
    .  This seems to work but I cannot find anything that says this is supported by Microsoft and I am wary of what side effects may occur.
    4) Using a GPO to enable the "No Computers Near Me in Network locations" and "No Entire Network in Network locations." - no change.
    It seems like there should a simple way to do this as I can't be the only admin that doesn't want their users browsing a list of every computer on the network.
    Thanks!

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • How can I remove icloud from my iphone as I don't want my whole mailbox on it?

    Is it possible to only receive email without having my whole mailbox downloaded?  If not, how do I remove icloud from my devices?

    Create a new ID for yourself.
    Of course that will have none of your items purchase in the old ID.
    Once you have an ID then log into that ID on the iPhone.

  • How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

    I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone.  I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off.  How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library. 

    What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • How can I remove something from my iTunes download list permanently?

    Same as title: how can I remove something from my download list FOREVA! Why would I want to do this? Because it's a piece of poo free sampler from Best Buy that is effing huge, and terrible and I don't want it, ever (it's been stuck to my list since 08, and it must die). Every time I buy something I have to remember to go and remove that from my list, otherwise iTunes gets caught up downloading that thing, which is many times larger than any video/cd/app that I have ever downloaded on iTunes before. It wouldn't be as much an issue if I had a good ISP but I don't, so any non-apple employee people giving some smarmy "get better internets" advice need not apply.

    Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
