I wasn't claiming that it would pick the DC for regular replication. We were talking GC promotion and I did throw in the weasel words about PAS replication since my confidence level wasn't sky high. It's been so long since we've done anything but IFM that I forget these little details. I know that the PAS replication partner selection algorithm isn't very smart but it does try to pick based on something other than just random selection. It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft does about that.

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?
