GC's follow the same replication topology as it part of the NTDTS database replication (as against the file FRS replcication). A GC will get the full database of its local domain and a subset of all flagged attributes from each other domain within the forest. The attributes replicated to a GC are determined through the database schema attribute properties. GC's typically only would contain those attributes required for applications, searches, remote authentication and contents of universal groups. This was MS way of preventing the old tree walking of NDS that generated large amount of network traffic when users authenticated/operated at a location that did not have a local copy of their NDS partition.

If an object is created in domain partition on a DC that is not a global catalog server, then how does it get replicated to GC? Is there any other replication topology for global catalogs? Or does it use the normal Connection objects?
