Not sure how well that would scale, say you have 50 GCs in a site and only one DC of a certain domain, all GCs would want to replicate with that one DC which I wouldn't expect.

If the DC is already replicating with a DC that is also a GC, it is likely that it will start pulling the additional NCs from that GC. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 12:28 PM To: ActiveDir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] GC Promotion When elevating a DC to be a GC and say there are 3 domains, located say located on 3 continents. Is the GC that already exists in each domain authorative in the elevation of the DC to a GC or does each DC contact a DC in the relevant domain for the GC information? Make sense?
