Well, for one thing it will handle account lockouts due to
the PDC chaining operation.

The PDCe is still required in Native mode as it performs a number of
functions that don't have anything to do with downlevel clients. Check
out this KB article for a good explaination of the functions the PDCe

Hi Manjeet,
Yep it is required, because the PDC Em processes all password
updates from clients not running the ADirectory client software. In addition, he
(is the PDC Em masculine?) is checked on an authentication failure to see if a
password has been changed but has not had a chance
Hi,
The PDC Emulator FSMO is
required in both modes! In mixed mode the replication model is different (LAN
MAnager) when replicating with older DCs (BDCs)
In both mixed and native
mode:
* Time sync for the
domain/forest
* Primary source for GPO
edits
* Pwd change for legacy clients

The time sync thing is incorrect according to information provided to us by
PSS the last time we had a time issue. We thought the same thing but were
told that the process is actually:

Regarding 2, a DC will occasionally peer up with another DC in it's own
domain. I see it all the time.
1 also seems a little off since client time is supposed to synchronize
over
