Tony, as just mentioned in my other post, this is not an IM topic, as this is about visibility of backlinks (which are not influenced by the IM).
Backlinks are only visible on DCs, which host the naming context of the object with the forward link (i.e. for directReports this would be those, which host the NC for the user's who are being managed) \Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Donnerstag, 10.

I've said "member" (more than once) below when I should have said "manager". ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- Wrom: DXRQBGJSNBOHMKHJYFMYXOEAIJJPHSCRTNHGSWZ Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 05:48:33 -0400 Mmmh. I believe this is where the Infrastructure Master comes into the picture. I'm a bit rusty, but here goes. The IM is responsible for maintaining references from objects in it's own domain to objects in other domains. We know that member (forward) and directReports (backward) are examples of linked attributes. We also know that only the member attribute value is replicated between GCs. This makes sense, because when you query for the directReports the value is calculated on-the-fly. Back to the IM. The IM periodically updates the references (using phantom records in the directory database) and replicates any changes to DCs in its domain. This is the process that allows you to see, e.g. local group memberships, directReports, etc. that contain values from other domains. So there there will be a delay between the time that you create the forward/backward link and the time that you will be able to query the directReports value (if the values are DNs from a different domain). I'm not sure how often the IM cycles (I seem to remember 8 hours, but I could well be wrong). You may have to simply wait. Let us know what happens. In the meantime, some of the list gurus may be able to offer a better explanation? Also, ensure that your IM is not on a GC as this may prevent you from seeing the directReports entries from the other domain. Of course if all the DCs in the domain are also GCs this will not be an issue.

But, I don't query the Global Catalog but the whole directory itself. I connect the DC of the "titi.com" domain to see the "usertiti" user and I connect the DC of the "toto.titi.com" domain to see the "usertoto" user. Is it so because "toto.titi.com" is a sub-domain of "titi.com" ? -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Tony Murray Envoyé : jeudi 10 juin 2004 11:04 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: [ActiveDir] Replication of linked attributes between domain and sub-domain The manager attribute is replicated between GCs as part of the Partial Attribute Set. The directReports attribute isn't. Whether you see it or not will depend on the domain of the DC you are querying.

I set "usertiti" as manager of "usertoto" and "usertoto" as manager of "usertiti". When I look a the "usertoto" and "usertiti" entries in the directories, I have: - the manager attribute of "usertiti" is correctly set at "usertoto", - the directReports attribute of "usertiti" is correctly set at "usertoto", - the manager attribute of "usertoto" is correctly set at "usertiti", - but, the directReports attribute of "usertoto" is not correctly set at "usertiti" ! Why ? Is it normal or is it a replication problem ? Thanks in advance for your answers...
