All of the exchange configuration info is in the forest configuration container. There is no child domain configuration container. If you pull up adsiedit.msc you should see three partitions by default. The Default domain partition (this depends on what ID you log on with as to what it shows by default) and a schema partition and a configuration partition. The configuration partition will have the name cn=configuration,dc=forestrootdomain,dc=blah; the schema will be the same with cn=schema tacked on the front. The domain partition could be anything because you could be talking to the root domain, a child domain, a grandchild domain, a separate tree etc.

 

Now from reading your post I take it you are either

 

1. Looking the domain partition for Exchange configuration info - you won't find it there.

2. Using an ID to look at the configuration container on a child domain DC that doesn't have enough rights into the configuration container to see the exchange stuff. The ID can see only what the exchange delegation is set up to allow you to see. By default if you used a forest root admin ID it is probably an enterprise ID and can see everything in the Exchange config area. If you are on a child domain you may be using a child domain domain admin ID which may not have any rights to see the exchange config info...

 

So it all depends on what you are doing as to why you can't see what you think you should be able to see.

I was looking around and noticed I don't see everything that is in my root domain when compared to a child domain when i view the configuration container through ADSI edit. Specifically, I'm not seeing all of the Exchange info in my child domain in comparison to my root domain.
