Not repilcating

[klync]

Hi guys,

I have DC and child DC. I noticed something on A.D.U&A. I dont see all
users from the DC. Shouldnt they repilcate each other already?

When you say "child DC" do you mean a replica DC in the same domain or do
you mean a child domain? A parent domain does not replicate user accounts
with the child domain. If the DC is a replica DC within the same domain
then it should replicate the user accounts. You should run repadmin.exe
/showreps to determine if there are replication problems. If replication is
failing, repadmin will give you an error that will indicate why it is
failing. You can post that error in the group for additional assistance.

oops, im meant is a "child domain"(blah.mymaindomain.com). So if a child
domain, then it wouldnt repilcate right?

That is correct. There are three directory partitions, they are:
configuration, schema and domain. The schema and configuration partition
are replicated throughout the forest and the domain partition is replicated
within that domain. A partial copy of the domain partition is replicated to
global catalog servers in the forest. See the following link for more
