Hi,
 
The PDC Emulator FSMO is required in both modes! In mixed mode the replication model is different (LAN MAnager) when replicating with older DCs (BDCs)
 
In both mixed and native mode:
* Time sync for the domain/forest
* Primary source for GPO edits
* Pwd change for legacy clients without the directory services client
* Central repository for passwords when another DC needs to check the password when a user provided a wrong password against that DC
* Participates in immediate replication for certain events through an RPC call
* Acts as the master DC for BDCs (only in mixed mode) for replication
* Provides directory updates to DFS root servers when Root Scalability is disabled
 
At the moment I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure if there's more the other guys will add comments
 
Cheers,
jorge

Subject: [ActiveDir] PDC emulator in Native mode

Hi,
 
What happened to the PDC Emulator Role if we move from mixed mode to native mode.
 
Is the PDC Emulator is required in Native mode... ?
 
and if required then what will it do  and what changes in the functional behaviour of it ?
 
 
Best-
Manjeet
