Novell has dsrepair and has a documented way to run a health check on NDS.
Is there anything similar for AD?

We were recently hit by a virus that repeatedly crashed our network and
caused numerous errors in NDS. Since the virus we have seen phantom
problems with workstations and servers that cannot connect to the domain and
give a "cannot connect from this station". Deleting the AD object and
waiting 15 minutes and then rejoining the domain works but I'd prefer not to
have to do this.

Thanks
 
dcdiag is a tool that generates a report on the state of your DC

Yeah, I realize DCDiag will do that. I guess I was looking for something
that will "fix" the database similar to what DSRepair does. Is MoM able to
do anything in this regard or is it just a monitor?

Thanks,
 
you can verify the state of AD database, by booting your DC in DSRM mode and
use ntdsutil ->files option -->... to verify actual AD DB.
