To my knowledge a GC searches for a replication partner it can use to source the partitions from and it does not care if it uses the writable versions or read-only version. Both have the data needed. On the other side, if it did use only writable NCs, that would mean replication could place over all kinds of WAN links while a partner GC will all the data was standing next it. Or have I missed something? jorge Met vriendelijke groeten / Kind regards, Ing.

That would make sense if it did that because you wouldn't have to worry about promoing a new GC and getting lingering objects passed onto it... I am still not sure it does it that way though as I swear I have talked to folks with new GCs with long dead lingering objects getting replicated in. :) -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee, Wook Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 1:29 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GC Promotion I wasn't claiming that it would pick the DC for regular replication. We were talking GC promotion and I did throw in the weasel words about PAS replication since my confidence level wasn't sky high. It's been so long since we've done anything but IFM that I forget these little details. I know that the PAS replication partner selection algorithm isn't very smart but it does try to pick based on something other than just random selection. It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft does about that.

If the DC is already replicating with a DC that is also a GC, it is likely that it will start pulling the additional NCs from that GC. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 12:28 PM To: ActiveDir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] GC Promotion When elevating a DC to be a GC and say there are 3 domains, located say located on 3 continents. Is the GC that already exists in each domain authorative in the elevation of the DC to a GC or does each DC contact a DC in the relevant domain for the GC information? Make sense?
