Partition heads (usually "NC heads") are the AD objects that represent the root of a domain. So for a domain named foo.bar.baz, the DN of the partition head object is DC=foo,DC=bar,DC=baz. The replication process, amongst others, check the ACLs on the partition head before replicating, so the ACLs on the partition heads are quite important. In fact at the Directory Experts Conference in DC, one of the scenarios in the hands-on troubleshooting contest was a messed up ACL on a partition head. Only one group figured it out, IIRC. -gil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Baudino Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] What's a directory partition head?
