1. What is Active Directory Partitions? In simple words a directory partition is where the AD information is segregated and logically stored. 2. What is use Active Directory Partitions? There are three native partitions Schema/Configuration/Domain and additionally there is also the Application partition. Schema information contains - definitional details about objects and attributes that one CAN store in the AD. Replicates to all domain controllers. Static in nature. Configuration information contains - configuration data about forest and trees. Replicates to all domain controllers. Static as your forest is. Domain information contains - object information for a domain. Replicates to all domain controllers within a domain. The object portion becomes part of Global Catalog.
