sites and services

[james]

I just recently added a sceond domain controller to
windows 2000 domain and I was checking out the sites and
services! I was looking at the ntds setting and when I
exited I noticed the name was no longer "automatically
generated" it was a series of letter and numbers! I made
a couple of dns and ad changes and everything seems to be
working correctly. I was wondering why the name change
occured and is this going to cause any replication
problems! I did some reading and I could not findfind any
amswers. Both Dc are in the same site, the default first
site! I also read that you cannot change how intrasite
replcation is scheduled ! thanks for the help

Hello james.

if you see a SID nummber instand of <automatically generated> you should not
worry, check the topologi and make sure just the name have changed, and not
your replication topologi

You can ran the following command to verify that replication is indeed ok:
repadmin /showreps
(take note of the last line for each of the naming context, NC)

or

create a test object and check if it's replicated to the other DC

and

monitor the event viewer logs.

The connection objects that were previously shown as "Automaticlly
generated" can be changed to a GUID (not a SID ) if a property is modified
on it.
For instance if you change the replication schedule on the object the name
will change.

Just to add some slight clarification as well; the documentation refer to
three kinds of connection objects - <automatically generated> (as Ben
mentioned), Manually Created, and Administratively Modified, which would be
the type Ben refered to as having the name of a Globally Unique Identifier
(GUID).

You can identify each kind as follows:
- Automatcially Generated types always have the name "<automatically
generated" affixed
- Manually Created always have the name you assigned them when you created
them
- Administratively modified have a GUID as a name, indicating that they
were once automatically generated, then had one of their attributes
modified - making it an "Administratively Modified" connection object.
