As an addition to the previous mails I would like to point out a particular issue with the schema master. The installation of an Exchange 2000 server explicitely needs to contact the DC holding the schema master. The reason for this contact is to check whether or not the schema is updated with the Exchange extensions.
I consider this to be a bug because every single DC in the forests holds the Schema partition and should therefor be able to verify whether or not the Schema has been updated. This wasn't solved a couple of months ago. Mayby MS will solve it in a next Service Pack of Exchange, but untill then ... Make sure that every Exchange box can contact the Schema Master! Cheers!

Do all DC's in a domain HAVE to have a direct connection to the FSMO role holding machines or is there a way of "proxying" these roles ? What are some of the likely major implications of maintaining a DC without access to FSMO role holders ? The DC in question is replicating with other DC's, so has all objects but just doenst have any connection to the FSMO role holders. Any thoughts ?
