Global Catalogs
 

Hello All,

I have a confusuon about global catalogs. If i take an example that we have
a forest that contains two domains for e.g. microsoft.com and msn.com and
both domains are having sub-domains like sales.microsoft.com and tech.msn.com
respectively. In this case all the domains in the forest will be having
global catalog of it's own and the partial copy of rest of the domains in the
forest or only the parent domain that means the first domain in the forest
will be having the copy of global catalogs. Kindly clarify this. Thanks in
advance

Kind Regards,
Karandeep Singh.

"The global catalog is the central repository of information about objects
in a tree or forest. By default, a global catalog is created automatically
on the initial domain controller in the first domain in the forest. A domain
controller that holds a copy of the global catalog is called a global
catalog server. You can designate any domain controller in the forest as a
global catalog server. Active Directory uses multimaster replication to
replicate the global catalog information between global catalog servers in
other domains. It stores a full replica of all object attributes in the
directory for its host domain and a partial replica of all object attributes
contained in the directory for every domain in the forest. The partial
replica stores attributes most frequently used in search operations (such as
a user's first and last names, logon name, and so on)."

So, in other words, a global catalog server in tech.msn.com has a full
replica of all objects in tech.msn.com, and a partial replica of all objects
in all other domains in the forest. A global catalog server in the msn.com
domain has a full replica of all objects in the msn.com domain, and a
partial replica of all objects in all other domains in the forest.

To put it a little simpler, the information that gets replicated to all of
the global catalog servers in a forest is a partial replica of all items in
the forest. A global catalog server adds to that a full replica of all
items in it's own domain, and that is the global catalog that is available
to it's domain.

That was just MEAN !

nevermind ! ;-)

Re: Global Catalogs
 

It was not mean, it was just either juvenile or ignorant.

My understanding is that Sikhs are baptized, and when they do they (the
males) are given the name Singh to add to their name; women are given a
different name that escapes me now.

To make fun of someone's religious traditions is just stupid and is not
becoming.

Women are given the name Kaur. I think it means "princess", but I'm not a
Sikh so I'm not 100% sure. Karandeep will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm
sure.

Re: Global Catalogs
 

if you read correctly, which you didn't, probably because you are canadian,
my post clearly states singh, a common indian last name. no where in my post
did i make fun of his religious beliefs, that would be silly, as there is no
god.
