RE: [ActiveDir] Child domain DC

[Ravenscroft Noah]

You need to have at least 2 DC in the child. Since only the Domain controllers in a domain have the Domain Partition of AD, if the child DC goes down that whole domain is down. Only the Schema and Configuration partitions replicate throughout the forest.   -----Original Message----- From: Rogers, Michael J.
