Hi,
What is the difference between Sysvol replication and NTDS.dit replication? I assume sysvol uses FRS/DFS to replicate GP, logon scripts etc between DC's and i can see that NTDS replication occurs as per a pre-defined schedule (through sites and services) but does it also use DFS/FRS services?
For example, if i update a user object on the DC holding the PDC emulator role -
1 - Does it update the NTDS.dit file which then gets replicated to the other DC's as per the schedule?
2 - If so, if the change is not visible in the GAL, what is the default period before this gets updated? Does this link in with the NTDS replication?
3 - For Exchange Cached Mode users, rather than forcing a GAL update and downloading the OAB from Outlook, what is the default period for this to occur automatically and how can we change this?
If i update a GPO or introduce a script, i'm assuming that this would be replicated by Sysvol using FRS/DFS?
I would really appreciate some guidance! :-)
Thanks All
