IT Interview Questions: How do you view replication properties for AD partitions and DCs?
Configure Intersite Replication Availability Updated: June 18, 2007 To control the blocks of
time during which intersite replication can occur over a site link, you can use the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in to configure the availability settings in the site link schedule. Membership in the Enterprise Admins group in the forest or the Domain Admins
group in the forest root domain, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. How do you view replication properties for AD partitions and DCs?

Start , click Administrative Tools , and then click Active Directory Sites and Services

Backup and Restore Tasks for Active Directory Active Directory is backed up as part of system state, a collection of system components that depend on each other. You must back up and restore system state components together. Components that comprise the system state on a domain controller include:
System Start-up Files (boot files).
These are the files required for Windows 2000 Server to start.
System registry.
Class registration database of Component Services.
The Component Object Model (COM) is a binary standard for writing component software in a distributed systems environment.
SYSVOL.
The system volume provides a default Active Directory location for files that must be shared for common access throughout a domain. The SYSVOL folder on a domain controller contains:
o
NETLOGON shared folders. These usually host user logon scripts and Group Policy objects (GPOs) for non-Windows 2000based network clients.
o
User logon scripts for Windows 2000 Professionalbased clients and clients that are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0.
o
Windows 2000 GPOs.
o
File system junctions.
o
File Replication service (FRS) staging directories and files that are required to be available and synchronized between domain controllers.
•
Active Directory.
Active Directory includes:
o
Ntds.dit: The Active Directory database.
o
Edb.chk: The checkpoint file.
o
Edb*.log: The transaction logs, each 10 megabytes (MB) in size.
o
Res1.log and Res2.log: Reserved transaction logs.
