They are not. I did delete all the manually created entries, and only re-entered half of them (i.e., I entered connections to the DCs for the parent domain, and only 1 DC in the child domain). So far, I see no "automatically generated" entries, except to the other DC in the same site. AD hasn't created a connection to the other DCs. Shouldn't it be creating a connection to other DCs, in other sites? It's not; it's just creating a connection to the other DC in the same site. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 11:50 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Odd entries in SITES and SERVICES > > Win2000 AD, in a parent/child domain config.
