[ActiveDir] Replication of linked attributes between domain and sub-domain

Hi, I have a domain titi.com with a sub-domain toto.titi.com, a user usertiti on domain titi.com and a user usertoto on domain toto.titi.com. 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 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. Tony -- Original Message -- Wrom:

Thanks Tony ! 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 ?

If you really want/need it to be replicated to the GCs, you can use the Schema snap-in, and check the box in front of 'Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog'. Regards, /Jimmy - Jimmy Andersson, Q Advice AB Principal Advisor

you may not be using a GC query, but the directReports backlink is still read from the same linktable on a DC when it is also a GC. in your scenario, the DC used to lookup the titi.com user must have been a GC and the other one a normal DC. This has nothing to do with the domain hierarchy.
