Depends on where the particular object lives in terms of AD "context". For example, changing the display name of an admin group would take place in the configuration "context". This is because that is where that particular object lives. Certain "context's" are shared throughout an AD forest. These would be the configuration and the schema. The complete "domain naming" partition lives only on the DC's that host that particular AD domain (a regular DC only contains "domain naming" information for the domain it is hosting). A GC is an AD domain controller that not only contains a copy of the schema, configuration, and a copy of the domain naming context for which it hosts, but also certain attributes and values from objects in other domain naming context's throughout the AD forest (this allows for a complete GAL in a multi-forest AD infrastructure).

When you used ADSIEDIT to change an attribute on a user properties(ie. legacyExchnageDN), where are you exactly changing it? Is it the AD database, schema or GC? Please educate me.
