The command-line help for the DSMOD PARTITION command, a Active Directory command-line tool, is incorrect. When you type DSMOD PARTITION /?, you receive:
Modifies attributes of one or more existing partitions in the directory.
dsmod partition <PartitionDN...> \[-qdefault <Value>\]
\[-qtmbstnwt <Percent>\] \[\{-s <Server> | -d <Domain>\}\]
\[-u <UserName>\] \[-p \{<Password> | *\}\] \[-c\] \[-q\] \[\{-uc | -uco | -uci\}\]
<PartitionDN...> Specifies the distinguished names of one or more
partition objects to modify. If values are omitted,
they are obtained through standard input (stdin) to
support piping of output from another command as
input of this command.
-qdefault <Value> Specifies that the default quota for the directory
partition be set to Value. The default quota will
apply to any security principal (user, group, computer,
or InetOrgPerson) who owns an object in the directory
partition and for whom more specific quota
specification exists. Enter -1 to specify an unlimited
quota.
-qtmbstawt <Percent> Sets the percentage by which tombstone object count
should be reduced when calculating quota usage. The
percentage is specified by <Percent> and must be
between 0 and 100. For example, a value of 25 means
that a tombstone object counts as 25, or 1/4, of a
normal object when calculating quota usage. If a user
were assigned a quota of 100, that user could own a
maximum of 100 normal objects or 400 tombstone objects
in Active Directory.
\{-s <Server> | -d <Domain>\}
Connects to a specified remote server or domain. By
default, the computer is connected to a domain
controller in the logon domain.
-u <UserName> Specifies the user name with which the user logs on to
a remote server. By default, -u uses the user name with
which the user logged on. You can use any of the
following formats to specify a user name:
user name (for example, Linda)
domain\user name (for example, widgets\Linda)
user principal name (UPN)
(for example, [email protected])
-p \{<Password> | *\} Specifies to use either a password or a * to log on to
a remote server. If you type *, you are prompted for a
password.
-c Specifies continuous operation mode. Errors are
reported, but the process continues with the next
object in the argument list when you specify multiple
target objects. If you do not use -c, the command quits
after the first error occurs.
-q Suppresses all output to standard output (quiet mode).
\{-uc | -uco | -uci\} Specifies that output or input data is formatted in
Unicode.
-uc Specifies a Unicode format for input from or
output to a pipe (|).
-uco Specifies a Unicode format for output to a
pipe (|) or a file.
-uci Specifies a Unicode format for input from a
pipe (|) or a file.
Dsmod quota only supports a subset of commonly used object class attributes.
If a value that you use contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text
(for example, "CN=DC2,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=Microsoft,DC=Com").
The default quota applies to any security principal (for example, user,
group, computer, or InetOrgPerson) that creates an object in the directory
partition when no quota specification exists that covers the security
principal.
The default quota for a given directory partition is an attribute
(ms-DS-Default-Quota) of a special container of class
ms-DS-Quota-Container, as specified by CN=NTDS
Quotas,DirectoryParitionRootDN.
The tombstone quota weight for a given directory partition (set with the
-qtmbstnwt option) is an attribute (ms-DS-Tombstone-Quota-Factor)
of a special container of class (ms-DS-Quota-Container), as
specified by CN=NTDS Quotas,NCRootDN.
The reference to -qtmbstawt <Percent> is incorrect.
It should read -qtmbstnwt <Percent>.
NOTE: The description of the parameter is correct.
