[ActiveDir] Object Attribute replication priority

2003-07-31 Thread Abbiss, Mark
Does anyone know if it is possible (and if so how and where) to change the priority with which object attribute data is replicated throughout an AD ? For example, when we create new users and include a profile path for Terminal Services it can take 20 minutes longer to replicate than other data

The issue you'll run into is that the computer GPO and user GPO settings aren't identical - there is some overlap but not significant enough to be able to exclusively use one or the other. -- Roger D. Seielstad - MTS MCSE MS-MVP Sr.

Isn't replication USN based only - meaning that the value of the attribute isn't relevant, just the fact that it was changed, as indicated by the USN incrementing? I have to go back and look up the password propagation pattern (PPP?) again. For some reason, I recall it being standard replication

This works well for a single domain. Dave, Any caveats for the multiple NT 4.0 domains ? We do have another, smaller, not-so-AD-hungry-as-yet NT 4.0 domain that we might consider merging into AD realm in the future. Would that be a problem ? Some things to watch: - make sure you know how

Yes replication is USN based. However if you make a change to an attribute normally that is the same exact value, AD tricks you and responds to the request like it made the change but doesn't really update anything. I haven't tested that with the password fields but would expect that it works the

Yep, don't let them change in multiple places. We make them hunt out the PDC and make the change there. If they can't get to the PDC they just grab the default DC for the domain. That product has gone through quite a bit of change in the last year or two, we beat them up pretty bad as they

The changes are all passed immediately to the PDC FSMO holder (assuming the mastering DC can reach it) and then the changes replicate out from both places slowly converging around the domain. If you change on multiple domain controllers all of those would be passed to the PDC FSMO and then the
