Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GC Promotion
To my knowledge a GC
searches for a replication partner it can use to source the partitions from and
it does not care if it uses the writable versions or read-only version.
Both have the data needed. On the other side, if it did use only writable NCs,
that would mean replication could place over all kinds of WAN links while a
partner GC will all the data was standing next it.
Or have I missed something?
Ah sorry,
you mean the initial population, I dropped that piece... That
would make sense if it did that because you wouldn't have to worry about
promoing a new GC and getting lingering objects passed onto it... I am still
not sure it does it that way though as I swear I have talked to folks with
new GCs with long dead lingering objects getting replicated in. :)

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.

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.

I thought that if there is a writable NC in the same site, it would try to
use that, but maybe that's just for PAS replication.

Yes a GC promotion can/will source readonly NCs from another GC, it does not
have to go back to a DC that maintains a writeable replica. 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.

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?
