(I saw your later post but not until it was too late. :-) ) For the sake of completeness, I have just a minor clarification...
Not *any* change to the PAS results in a full sync: *Adding* an attribute to the PAS will cause a Win2k GC to do a full sync. *Removing* an attribute from the PAS is a local operation and will not cause a full sync. (And, as Tony hinted, a Win2k3 GC will not do a full sync in either case.) --Doug -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CIT) Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 10:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Indexing attributes in GC's Thanks Guys, I did correct my post later... Todd -----Original Message----- From: Tony Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 1:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Indexing attributes in GC's I'm with Doug on this one. There is a clear distinction between indexing an attribute and making it part of the PAS. You should also be aware that a change to the PAS results in a GC full sync (at least in W2K AD), so you might want to plan the timing carefully if you have more than one domain in your forest.

I'm sure you're just asking about removing attributes from the partial attribute set (the list of attributes included in the Global Catalog). The answer is "yes" -- you can un-mark an attribute from being included in the GC and it will be removed.

If you select an attribute to be indexed in a GC. Then decide later to not want the attribute indexed any longer, so you deselect the attribute for indexing in a GC. Will the GC's automatically remove the attribute, or do you need to do some type of cleanup process?
