The reason why I moved an <automatically generated> CO was because it had a CO to DC1, but DC1 didn't have one for it; instead, DC2 did. While this appeared to be ok, FRS seemed to be having some issues as a backlog kept building up. As soon as I moved the CO so it matched between two DC's and restarted FRS, it started working again.
As to why it was like this in the first place, I'm not entirely sure. There wasn't a preferred BH, nor were any of the objects manually created. I deleted the CO and let the KCC recreate it, but it kept re-establishing a link to the 3rd DC. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe > Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 19:28 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Question about replication connection objects > > Hmmm, interesting idea.
