>>>THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENT IS AN EXAMPLE:
* 1 forest with 3 domains (W2K Native Mode)

       
* DOM_A is forest root

       
* DOM_B is a child domain of DOM_A

       
* DOM_C is a child domain of DOM_A

* Each domain has 5 DCs

* Each DC = GC
----------------------
 
Question - you state all DC's are GC's???  Shouldn't one DC from each domain hold the IM role and not be a GC?
I wonder if all DC's are GC's, then you are running into a IM versus GC conflict.   Maybe not so much in the normal replication problem but in the garbage collection.
 
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;248047 
 
Any replication errors?? and have you let the domains run for more than 24 hours so that the normal garbage collection and database maintenance stuff has a chance to run?
 
Brings up another question - anybody have a good description of the normal garbage collection and database maintenance procedures in AD?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Contents of GC

I tested the situation I described earlier (see below) and the findings are as expected:
I restored DOM_B using the backup without the 10000 objects.
Everything is in sync again.
 
When I do an AD search (in DOM_A or DOM_C) for the 10000 objects (all begin with the name TEST) I get 10000 results
 
When I do an AD search (in DOM_B) for the 10000 objects (all begin with the name TEST) I get 0 results.
 
THUS: how to get those objects out of the GC data? ;-(

JORGE
