All, This may seem pretty straight forward, but I haven't been able to track down any definitive info anywhere, not even from Microsoft.
We are looking at connecting a number of businesses within our region (Asia Pacific) to the same domain. No stress there - most of the DC's (where they exist) are all in some variant of English (all running Windows Server 2003). We have some businesses in China, however, that use the Chinese version of Windows Server 2003. What I am asking is do we need to do anything special (other than maybe install the chinese language packs on the english servers so we can read the characters they have entered as data for their accounts, etc) to have the directories integrate and not screw up replication or whatever? I do not believe so - it should all be the same, just a different character set responsible for some data entry so that will be copied but only readable with language packs installed. I just thought I would run it by the fonts of all knowledge here, as I am sure people have had similar issues that allow them to shed specific light on this dilemma. All help/pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks! :) Steve Molkentin (themolk).
