Active Directory Replication issue


This blog is in regards to the Active Directory replication concerns that we are having.

In a single domain we cannot have Active Directory Replication working only within a site and not between sites.

A domain controller holds replica’s of the domain, schema, configuration and application partition. The domain partition will be replicated between all the domain controller’s of a domain.
However schema and configuration partition are forest wide and will be replicated between all the domain controllers within a forest.

If we disable inbound/outbound replication for a domain controller then the domain controller will not inbound/outbound replicate with any other domain controller.
We can take the above steps in situations where in some Active Directory objects have been deleted accidently and you do not want those changes to be replicated throughout the domain.

Again to re-iterate the point we cannot have Active Directory replication working just within a site and not between sites.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, I will be glad to assist you.
