Found a way to get servers back based in part on Greg Reese's advice for all
that might run into this problem. My servers disappeared from the CMC
Servers tab. By using DSVERIFY to Force Clean a server from the farm and
then running the MFXP Install/Repair, the server re-appeared in the Servers
tab. Looks like I'll be doing that to all servers a few at a time. We ended
up ordering 18 DL360 servers to replace a slew of aged PL6400 servers, so
the "MFXP Migration from Hell" I have been experiencing over the last 2
weeks has a positive benefit: NEW HARDWARE!! Whoo Hoo!! Trading quad-proc
500Mhz CPUs with 2.5G RAM for dual 3.2GHz procs with 4GB RAM. I guess it
goes without saying that we had originally requested new hardware for the
migration, which was prompty DENIED! I do not know how much effect W2K3/MFXP
and it's interaction with NN 4.78 had on the upgrade but we will no longer
be running 150-180 users per server. Go figure. Probably set expectations
down in the low 100s instead of the previous load capability. The really
interesting thing will be how many users we get when we switch to IE 6.0
from NN 4.78. Might be another Migration from Hell. I hope not cuz my poor
gut can't handle too many more 70-hour weeks. We are stress-testing the
Engineer majorly as well as the farm <g>! BTW, we thought about trying to
get Ron O. out here to fix our problems but figured his "speaking" schedule
had him booked solid! Hee hee. Besides, it's probably too warm in SoCal for
an Illinois boy...

Subject: [THIN] Servers no longer display in CMC
Trying to track down a problem with my servers no longer displayed in the
CMC. They were all there in folders until we broke the team on each MF
server and rebooted. Now they do not display under the Servers tab or in the
Server drop down in Printer Management. The folders I created and moved
servers into are gone, as are the ZDCs which were not moved into folders. As
such, they can no longer be managed (very bad thing <g>). I ran dsverify on
"servers" and all seems "valid" but this is the response I get to dsverify
"groups". Anyone know what this output below means and how to correct the
ERROR?
I can add/remove servers in Published Apps but cannot access them anywhere
else.
Ideas?
BTW, the output below indicates the server folders exist but they do not
display in the CMC (Servers/GMS_Prod and Server//Group X). Also, I
"repaired" an MFXP install to see if it would display but it does not. I
have not built a server from scratch to see if it displays, but I will be
doing that on Monday.
