Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this problem and stop the online defragmentation from automatically running after the Active Directory garbage collection process, you must install this hotfix on each domain controller where you want to change the behavior. Also, you must add the following key to the registry. To do this, follow these steps:  Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters

 Right-click the Parameters subkey, point to New, and then click String Value. Type DSA Heuristics, and then press ENTER. Right-click DSA Heuristics, type 0000000001, and then click OK.

Note There are nine zeros and a one in this registry value. Exit Registry Editor.</li></ol>
