Notices
NWDSRepairTimeStamps sets the time stamps on all of the objects and their attributes, even if valid time stamps exist. It will replace information such as the creation
dates of the attributes.
After NWDSRepairTimeStamps is called, the Directory will synchronize all replicas to match the information in the master replica.
CAUTION:
Because of the wide scope of changes made by NWDSRepairTimeStamps, it should be used only to recover from a catastrophic failure.
One concern with using NWDSRepairTimeStamps is that it can result in the loss of information. For example, any changes that have been made on replicas other than the
master replica will be lost if they have not been synchronized with the master replica before NWDSRepairTimeStamps is called.
Another concern is with applications that use NDS Event Notification Services. After NWDSRepairTimeStamps is called, NDS will produce event notifications for every
object and attribute on the master replica. It will also provide the same notification each time one of the other replicas is synchronized with the master replica.
