Deji, I might suggest that the attempt at levity include liberal smiley faces in the future. Gil got the jump before I did, because, given your posts in the past - this one seemed quite out of character. I really wasn't sure if you were having a bad day or if Brian had just really 'hit the wrong nerve'. And, he was asking ME to Woahhhh, so if anyone should be offended, it should be me (and, I wasn't). Personally, I think that this is about enough of this thread. Not constructive. Let's move on. 'Nuff said. Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone

Gil, my response was not in any way directed at you. It was directed at Brian and, if anything, it was an attempt at levity, not snottiness. So, where did the slam come from? I'd think that if anything is snotty, it would be Brian's increduluos "Woahhhhh....", not mine. Don't you think? As for "Site coverage" in Win2K being equal to GC-Less config in Win2K3, I firmly believe they are apple and orange. They are both fruits, but not the same.

In any case, to reduce the apparent confusion: GC-less sites have always been possible with AD since W2K. The facility is called site coverage. GC-less logon is new in WS2K3 and occurs because DCs can cache group memberships. This allows the DC to assemble a complete token even if a GC isn't available. This functionality has nothing to do with application partitions. Application partitions are a mechanism where you can host replicas of specific subtrees in the domain on any set of DCs in the forest. The subtrees may not contain security principals such as users, groups, and computers, When you create a zone in WS2K3, you can elect to configure it as an application partition and replicate the data to specific DCs in the forest. -gil -----Original Message----- From: deji Agba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quick AD integrated DNS question :) Yes, you did indeed miss it. So, go find it. Yourself, this time with no help. Hint: Application partition is the new partion in E2K3 which, in addtion to The Domain, Configuration and Schema Partitions now make up the AD database in E2K3. It is this change that makes it possible now to deploy GC-less Remote Sites. The Application Partition is SHARED(replicated) to ALL DCs in the Domain, including designated DCs in the Forest.

AD integrated DNS can now be separated from regular replication? Gotta link? Book? Paper? Smokesignal? Morse? :-) -----Original Message----- From: Rick Kingslan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 1:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quick AD integrated DNS question :) This would be correct. But, remember that in the replication strategy for Win2k - data goes to every DC regardless if it's a DNS server or not - because once it's DNS-integrated, it's now a part of the AD data. This trend is broken in Win2k3, where application partitions can handle DNS - and do. The DomainDNS and ForestDNS are just that, for all intents and purposes. They are AD Application parts handling DNS for just DNS servers - and no DNS data need be on the DCs, unless it too, is a DNS server once the full DNS app partition is configured.

However since the zone is replicated within AD....there shouldn't be any additional (or if so very minimal) replication traffic between the DNS servers other than the normal AD replication traffic correct? -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 10:58 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quick AD integrated DNS question :) I always configure every DC as a DNS server. I consider that if a location requires a DC, it also requires local DNS. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.

When configuring an AD Integrated DNS zone, at least one DC in each site should be running DNS? Or all DCs should be running DNS? Would it matter either way?
