Active Directory Cookbook

Chapter 12. Replication

Introduction

Replication is one of the most important and perhaps complex components of Active Directory. The infrastructure behind Active Directory replication, including the site topology, connection objects, and the KCC, was covered in Chapter 11. This chapter focuses strictly on some of the tasks and processes associated with replicating data and checking replication health. For an in-depth overview of how replication works in Active Directory, I suggest reading Chapter 5 in Active Directory, Second Edition (O’Reilly).
