Recipe 11.13 Finding the Bridgehead Servers for a Site11.13.1 ProblemYou want to find the bridgehead servers for a site. 11.13.2 Solution11.13.2.1 Using a graphical user interface
11.13.2.2 Using a command-line interface> repadmin /bridgeheads [<ServerName>] [/verbose] The /bridgeheads option is valid only with the Windows Server 2003 version of repadmin. There is no such option in the Windows 2000 version. 11.13.2.3 Using VBScript' This code finds the bridgehead servers for the specified site.

Instead of all domain controllers replicating the same naming contexts outside of the site, the bridgehead servers act as a funnel for replication into and out of a site. Any domain controller in a site can become a bridgehead server and bridgeheads are designated by the KCC for each writeable partition in the site. You can control which servers are designated as bridgehead servers by defining preferred bridgehead servers. See Recipe 11.14 for more on how to do this. 11.13.4 See AlsoMS KB 271997 (Description of Bridgehead Servers in Windows 2000) |
