I would not expect that to be a major hit if running 2003. In 2000 it might be larger, but I still don't expect it to be so large that it's a problem. Obviously, take that with a grain of salt, because you have a lot of other variables to consider such as available bandwidth, etc. So let me ask a few more questions: What's the concern about the replication? How many objects is it that you're referring to? What exactly is the concern if not the above?

Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 2:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD replication impact from inserting OU in the middle? We might want to insert an OU placeholder in the "middle" of our Active Directory structure, i.e., changing "cn=abc,.....,ou=def,dc=xyz,dc=com" to "cn=abc,.....,ou=def,ou=GHI,dc=xyz,dc=com". Can anyone give me an idea of what impact this will cause on replication? We have multiple root DCs with one on a slow link. I contend that every object below the new OU structure will at least have its "Distinguished Name" rewritten (other attributes also?). Some discussion has ensued. Any comments are appreciated!
