Q.
Is there a way to change the time stamp for an NDS object on a specific server in a replica ring?
A.
That seems like something you would rather not want to do, as time is so crucial to eDirectory's operation. But I suppose it would make sense in a case where the sync-up-to vector differs from the time stamp you are thinking of changing. At any rate, if you really want to do this, you can do all sorts of magic with the DSRepair utility.
Load DRSRepair with "-a" and select: Advanced options | Replica and partition ops | Repair time stamps and Declare a new epoc.
Or you can use the single object repair feature. You'll need the local object/entry ID, but you can get that from DSBrowse.
