RE: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links

[Olivarez, Sergio J Mr ANOSC/FCBS]

You might want to look into using Active Directory Load Balancing tool (adlb.exe); I’ve never used the tool but it might help you control replication and the connection objects.  Personally, I would trust the KCC and let it do its jobJ    Thanks... ... ... ...

If you remove the CO manually, it will recreate them during the next KCC cycle. The creation of auto COs also depends on what manual COs have been created. Manual created COs will never be touched by the KCC   So, why do you think it is wrong or what do you mean with "If you promote a new domain controller and it doesn't automatically generate the right replication links"   jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Wed 2006-03-08 15:50 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links If you promote a new domain controller and it doesn't automatically generate the right replication links, is it safe or recommended to delete the link it generated and manually create the replication link?  Or if you delete it will it try to automatically generate it again? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
