Works as advertised

So far, so good – I’ll need to see if it will actually produce an error with replication, but I wanted to respond to the ‘get-object’ issue.

I also ran into that, but only on some servers. The cause? Missing NTDS performance counters. If you check the counters list on a working server, you see NTDS. If you check a non-working server, NTDS is missing. Note that ‘DirectoryServices’ contains the same counters.

The fix for me was as follows:
1. Export this key from the working DC: HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNTDSPerformance
2. Import to the non-working DC.
3. Run: lodctr /R
4. Test
