Partition Replication The Windows 2000 Active Directory is partitioned in three distinct parts. Schema Partition. The information in the Schema Partition defines all objects and their allowed attributes and is common to all domains in the forest. This partition is replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. Configuration Partition. The Configuration Partition outlines your domain structure and replication topology. This information is common to all domains in the forest. This partition is replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. Domain Partition. The Domain Partition references data objects of a given domain. This information is commonly relevant to only the single domain, it is not shared, and this partition is replicated to all domain controllers in the domain only. It is a subset of this data from all objects in all domains (partial replica) that is stored in the global catalog. All of the objects in every domain, and a subset of the properties (partial replica) of all objects in a forest, are replicated to the global catalog. Domain controllers have the responsibility of replicating: The schema and configuration partitions for the forest. The domain partition for the local domain, within the local domain and a subset of the properties (partial replica) of all objects of the local domain to the global catalog. Global Catalog servers have the responsibility of replicating: The schema information for a forest The configuration information for all domains in a forest A subset of the properties (partial replica) for all directory objects in the forest (replicated between global catalog servers only) All directory objects and all their properties for the local domain. -----Original Message----- From: Pham, Tuan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 June 2003 14:20 To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Replication If I have multiple sites, each with a Global Catalog server in them. Does the replication happen when active directory replicates or do they follow their own replication schedule? I realize of course that Active Directory replication timing can be controlled, but if Global Catalogs have their own replication schedule, how often will they being their replication once a change is made? And can this be controlled? If so how?
