Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

Notes

  • To create a diagnostic report, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each server that you prepare a report for.

  • The amount of time necessary to generate a diagnostic report will vary based on a number of factors, including: DFS Replication health; the number of replicated folders; available server resources (for example, CPU, memory, and so forth); WAN availability (connectivity, bandwidth, and latency); and the chosen reporting options (backlog and file system enumeration). Because of the potential delay in creating diagnostic reports, we recommend creating diagnostic reports for no more than 50 servers at a time.
