| I don't expect small environments to really have a very big DIT that would take very long to defrost. Also really don't see many small environments being all that concerned about defrosting at all really. I see this as more of a large environment kind of thing. Especially large environment with heavy duty highly utilized LDAP based apps like Exchange.

You would need some logic in place for small environments. The most extreme case is a single DC forest. But even a 2 DC forest would have an issue if one DC is rebooted after say patches, it's online but not accepting requests yet, when the admin patches the other DC and you're left with no DC's because a DC is still defrosting.

Yep, that is somewhat why I was visualizing blocking the DC from being used by clients until it is defrosted.
I am not too worried about the IOPS though because I think Exchange tends to get pounded much harder in that area than AD does on a regular basis. Exchange is just not as efficient as AD I think.

We've discussed this at length in regards to salting the Exchange caches after a mailbox server information store restart. (Exchange Server 2007.)
In x64, the MB servers need quite a bit of time to fill the cache and until that happens, MB access has a performance penalty. Depending on the size of the MB server (number of mailboxes) and the amount of memory involved, it can be VERY significant. Recommendation from the Exchange team has been to allow that to happen naturally, and not to drive the cache load. Primarily because pushing the load can potentially overwhelm the IOPS available to respond to user requests (that is, value availability over responsiveness).
I could see a similar justification for A/D.

I guess that response makes sense if you don't have enough RAM for the entire DIT... otherwise the types of queries shouldn't matter a whole lot, you will be loading the entire DIT up bit by bit.
I guess my main thought was whether or not anyone was so concerned about response times on queries that getting the data prepopulated as fast as possible was desirable for consistent response times. Dave's point about it being intially as slow as it used to be and gravy after is well taken initially I think, but wonder if down the road if it will be as acceptable as apps get more and more used to faster responses for the most part. I am thinking really high perf type needs.
One such case where I could see this coming into play would be around Exchange and its heavy use of AD. You reboot a DC that Exchange servers are using and it will take it a bit to get back to the perf levels it previously had which may be enough to start causing a backlog in the delivery queues, etc until AD catches back up with its caching again.
I was visualizing something that would block the DC from responding to most if not all clients for LDAP until it was mostly defrosted and ready to go. Sort of like doing some leg stretches and jumping jacks before running the marathon. Once it was ready the guards would be lifted and anything hitting the DC would have the same perf characteristics of the other currently running DCs.

Personally, I do not pre-load anything. I'd rather have the DC build the cache based upon the queries received (I think.?)
Some DCs may query based upon migration activity, others may query based upon application queries. Each may have a different profile.
I guess if we could profile each DC and pre populate based upon that profile, then that might be useful.
I'm keen to hear other opinions and suggestions J

Thanks for bringing this up. Something I have been curious about as to whether the masses that were using x64 were doing or not is preloading the cache at restart or if they are just letting it natually populate.
So of the folks using x64 with enough RAM to cache everything, are you defrosting the cache or letting it populate "naturally"?
If you are defrosting, what exactly are you doing?
Is this something that people think they need a "solution" for? If so, what do you visualize that solution doing for you?

Perhaps this is mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but if disk I/O is an issue as well as lsass, then maybe it's time to consider x64 and lots more RAM??
If you can cache the database and indexes then most of these concerns are moot.
[I'm currently using x64 with 16Gb RAM and the disks are very busy. doing nothing at all J ]
