Difficult to replicate a deleted object... If you send a null to your replication partner, it doesn't know what to remove. :) You can get around the whole tombstone thing though if you use dynamic objects. Those really and truly do delete with no chance of reanimation. However, the time to die info is (well usually) on the object from the very beginning so you don't need to replicate around a notification of a tombstone, each DC will know when it needs to remove the object. This is actually a fun way to build lingering objects in your directory. There are a couple of ways it can be leveraged to do so if you really want to work at dorking your forest up. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm

Brett, because of the way the question was asked it might be a good idea to mention why that's important vs. just deleting an object and replicating that. My $0.04 for the day.

The way AD replications works, is that in a sense a delete is really like a modify by "setting the isDeleted" attribute (really the metadata, maybe the attr too, don't remember OTOH). By setting this attribute the AD object turns into an AD tombstone, a change that can replicate normally around to make the delete global.
