Hi there, Check the kb article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;248047
In your situation DC3 will not tell DC4 about any cross-domain references. Example... In parent.com a global group exists called GGparent In child.parent.com a domain local group exists called LGchild. Lets say GGparent is a member LGchild. The INF master of child.parent.com creates a phanton object in the child.parent.com partition IF (and only IF) it is not a GC. This way other DCs (that are not GC!) in child.parent.com domain know of the membership. If the INF master of child.parent.com is a GC than it will not create a phantom object because it already holds information about the object (GGparent). This way DCs in child.parent.com will not know about the membership Regards, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 3-7-2004 4:47 Subject: [ActiveDir] Inf Master and GC Clarification Can someone tell me what exactly the problems I might see if I had 2 Domain's and in one of them the Infrastructure Master role was on the GC with the other DC's in that Domain not also being a GC? This assumes the first Domain is setup correctly. So: Parent.com DC1 - 5 FSMO roles and GC DC2 - GC Child.Parent.com DC3 - 3 FSMO roles and GC DC4 - *not* a GC If I understand correctly, the INF Master's job is to inform other Domain's of changes to objects in its own Domain. If so, then in the above scenario, DC3 will fail to inform DC1 of changes to objects in Child...? Just what kind of changes would it fail to pass along?
