Importing SAP ldf configuration file

[inkydvd]

Hi all

I have been given the task of importing a .ldf file into my existing Active Directory. The command in order to do this was given to me by SAP

Version 1
#
# Usage: ldifde -i -s <servername> -f <filename> -k -v
# -c &quot;ROOT_SCHEMA&quot; <schemacontext>
# Example: ldifde -i -s ads1 -f test.ldf -k -v
# -c &quot;ROOT_SCHEMA&quot; &quot;cn=Schema, cn=Configuration, dc=company, dc=de&quot;
#


The above works but I recieve the following error


D:\>ldifde -i -s riagsrv0 -f LDIF.ldf -k -v -c &quot;ROOT_SCHEMA&quot; &quot;cn=Schema, cn=conf
iguration, dc=company, dc=ch
Connecting to &quot;riagsrv0&quot;
Logging in as current user using SSPI
Importing directory from file &quot;LDIF.ldf&quot;
Loading entries
1: cn=roomNumber, cn=Schema, cn=configuration, dc=company, dc=ch

Add error on line 28: Referral
The server side error is &quot;A referral was returned from the server.&quot;
0 entries modified successfully.
An error has occurred in the program


I believe the error lies here:

1: cn=roomNumber, cn=Schema, cn=configuration, dc=company, dc=ch

But I only can fill in the details for dc=company dc=ch

I would really apreciate any info regarding my problem.

Thank you

You need to import the file to the dc that functions as the schema master. AD allows only one server in a domain to be the schema master (it looks like the one you are trying isn't it). Let me know if you need help determining which server is the schema master ...

Thanks for your input

There is only the one domain controller &quot;Riagsrv0&quot; which is the schema master.

Here is the contents of my log file:

It is possible that you don't have permission to modify the configuration entries with your currently logged in user - as this requires the schema admin to make the modifications. The error might be giving you a referral because it can't locate that container with the credentials supplied through the command line ....

Just a thought ...

no, i am logged in as Domain admin...

Any more thoughts
