2.3.2.4 NTDS Connection Object

  • Article

For SYSVOL replica sets, FRS uses both Volatile Connection objects (section 3.3.4.2) and connection objects that are generated by the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) that are located in the NTDS settings object in the configuration naming context. This is in contrast to DFS Share replication where NTFRS MUST use connection objects mentioned in section 2.3.1.6. These connection objects are also used during Active Directory replication.

For SYSVOL replica sets, the NTDS connection object is inbound to the NTFRS member object that corresponds to the NTDS settings object that the NTDS connection object is located under. It is outbound from the NTFRS member object that corresponds to the NTDS settings object that its fromServer attribute points to.<28>
