I would also say look closely at the defined topology. There is a reason the KCC is setting things up that way. If it isn't doing what you expect, you probably dont have sites/subnets configured properly or possibly have a misunderstanding on replication connection fundamentals.

Stop worrying yourself sick. IF KCC built a CO for this DC, KCC thinks that's the most optimal CO possible at that point. It is not mandatory that the CO should be reciprocal. If you are not please with what KCC did, then delete its work and create your own. KCC will not mess with creating another one if the DC is replicating optimally.

Every other DC we've deployed to date is the same DC for both from and two (always the same DC for all) and these two decided to pick something different. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links yes... on the DC that needs the CO to replicate from. remember when looking on another DC, that object (including the old deleted CO) still needs to replicate to the other DCs ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Wed 2006-03-08 16:22 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links I see the problem, this remote DC has a "replicate from" correctly but the replicate to was a different DC. I deleted the replication link to that DC and now there's nothing in the "Replicate to" blank for that DC. So it will repopulate within 15 minutes? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 8:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Automatically generated replication links Hi Russ, The KCC runs 5 mins after the DC boots and after that each 15 min.. The KCC creates CO as it sees fit (and that depends on the site and replication topology, partitions to replicate and replicas hosting partitions). 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: [email protected] 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.
