Repadmin /syncall behviour

[Guest]

I got two question some of you may have an answers for.
In AD we have several partions:
- Directory
- Configuration
- Shema

With repadmin /syncall we can force the AD to replicat it's objects.
for example:

1. repadmin /syncall myDC dc=algacom,dc=ch (for the domain partition)
2. repadmin /syncall myDC cn=configuration,dc=algacom,dc=ch (for the configuration partition)
3. repadmin /syncall myDC cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=algacom,dc=ch (for the shema partition)

now my first question is, does number 1 only replicate the directory partition or also config and shema?
and the second, does repamdin /syncall replicate all object or does it perform a delta replication (like W2k3 does).

1. It only replicated the NC that you specify.
2. Replication is delta based except for the first replication of the database
when dcpromoing a DC.
