Forcing a replication sounds like fixing a problem that shouldn't be there... But let's give it a try. Mayby we can find another way of solving your problem. First of all, you want to be in charge of the decision of choosing the DC on which the computer account is created. This can be done by

While it is possible to some extent to manage a 5.5 server with up-level tools (Exchange 200x ESM) it is considered best practice to use the 5.5/NT tools for 5.5/NT and to use the MMC for Exchange 200x/Active Directory. There are limitations and quirks you'll run into otherwise. As was

When specifying DHCP servers in the DnsUpdateProxy, should the ACL For the record show the machine account (DHCPSERV1$) or should it show (DNSUPDATEPROXY)? I'm looking at some Zones, and I see that the DHCP server as having FullControl, and the owner as SYSTEM. Would a 2nd DHCP server in the

When you add servers to the DNSUpdateProxy group, it basically REMOVES any security of the objects by granting Authenticated Users Full Control to the DNS record = this is what allows other DNS servers (or whoever is added to the DnsUpdateProxy group) to overwrite these records. As such you

Guido, Thanks for the Response. Since DNS is running AD integrated on the DCS, and runs under the System context, they don't need to be added to this group,correct? I think you meant that Stand alone DNS servers would need to be added to this group to facilitate updates,correct? Since coming

Yes, you DON'T want your DCs to be added to the DNSupdateProxy group, even if they run DHCP services. Only Stand alone (i.e. normal member servers) should be added to the group. I would sincerely suggest that you remove your DCs from the group as you're currently rather unprotected = you could

John - it sounds like Mark is talking about a 2000 domain - not that it makes too much of a difference, but 2000 doesn't know about functional levels (especially not about forest functional levels). Mark, correct me if I'm wrong. However, since in 2000 the domain mode really only effects

it does makes sense, as you've probably got a permission set that's filtered from the UI (via the dssec.dat file in you sytems32 folder...) - that's why you should look at it via ADSIedit, which doesn't filter any permissions in the UI. I don't have anything to test around here right now so I
