Hi Folks,
We have multidomian heirarcy with A_domain.com(forestroot) and B.A_domain.com(resource), C.A_domain.com(accounts) [25+ domain controllers in branch sites for accounts domain]
We have hub and spoke replication topology and it's somewhat messy. I would like to optimize. I would like to know if domain controllers in branch sites need to have replication link to forest root domain controllers. Ideally the Schema and DNS partitions will be replicated to all DC in the forests and the branch sites DC can have replication partners in hub site for the same domian i.e. C.A_domain.com DC in branch sites gets replication data from C.A_domain.com DC in hub site. The hub site DC for C.A_domain.com will have replication partner from A_domain.com(Forest) from the same hubsite. Do you see any issues removing replication link from branch sites to forest root and creating a replication link with another dc at hub site from the same domain.

Nav
