I agree on the google searching. Wish they would just buy
google already.
As for the other... If all DCs of a domain are GCs there
isn't an issue. Also if you have a single domain it isn't an
issue.

Found an article on the Garbage collection interval
- see "The Active Directory Database Garbage Collection Process" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;198793
You know it is a problem for Microsoft when the search
engine on Google groups is way better than the search engine for Microsoft
Premier support.

>>>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
* 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.
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?

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?
