3.1.1.3 Member Object (Replica Member Object)
The Member object corresponds to a computer that is a part of the replica set. The Member object contains one or more Connection objects that define the upstream partners that a member replicates from. FRS determines the set of replica sets of which the local machine is a member.
For each replica set that the local machine is a member of, the Member object of the local machine maintains the following set of attributes:
Connection Objects: Define the connections that this member receives change orders from or sends change orders to.
Member GUID: Uniquely identifies the member.
Replica Set GUID: Identifies the replica set to which this system belongs.
Replica Tree Root GUID: Object ID for the replica tree root in the IDTable.
Replica Tree Root Path: Path to the replica tree root on the local server.
Version Vector: Current version numbers for all the files in the replica set.
A single machine cannot be a member of a given replica set more than once. When a member object is deleted from the replica set, the following configuration information is deleted from Active Directory:
