Routing active directory issue
It is possible that this could cause a replication issue?
I describe the scenario
DC1 local site
RODC remote site
To get to the remote Site RODC from DC1
He goes like this Router1--->Router2---->Router3--->Server
To get to DC1 from the RODC
He goes like this Router3--->router4---> router 5--->router2--->router1
If you see when he gets back he does extra jumps in extra routers but he get back to the same path...does this extra jumps in other routers when he is communicating from point B to point A can cause issue?
If you see when he is going from point A to point B he does it in less router jumps
When he goes from point B to point A he does more jumps to other routers but he gets back on the track on the same path... he doesnt go completely to other route...if you know what i mean...
Anyone

Servers could care less on path from or to, so no that isn't an issue.
If you are having problems:
Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.
If you don't have the support tools installed, install them from your server install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe
Run dcdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
-> ntfrsutl ds your_dc_name > c:\sysvol.log
-> dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"
**Note: Using the /E switch in dcdiag will run diagnostics against ALL dc's in the forest. If you have significant numbers of DC's this test could generate significant detail and take a long time. You also want to take into account slow links to dc's will
also add to the testing time.

Hi,
Routing topology won't affect the Replication and whatever number of routers come across if the connectivity is through, replication will happen.
Apart from this, What was the reason for you to ask this question, if you are facing any issues with replication or any failure below link will explain more efficiantly

If None of above helps please post output of below command
netdom query dc
dcdiag /q
ipconfig /all
Hope it helps __________________________ Best regards Sarang Tinguria MCP, MCSA, MCTS Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Router will select the best routing path to reach the network.You should not worry too much about the same.However you can contact your network administrator to check that routing is configured correctly between the networks.
In case if you are facing any replication issue.Please run the following commands and upload the results via skydrive.
- ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt from the problematic dc and client
- dcdiag/q >c:\dcdiag.txt
- repadmin /replsum >c:\repadmin.txt
Hope this helpsBest Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for posting here.

>When he goes from point B to point A he does more jumps to other routers but he gets back on the track on the same path... he doesnt go completely to other route
This is expected cos the back traffics will come with following the routing we defined previously when back from DC1(pointA) to RODC(pointB), means it will go back with following : Router1--->Router2---->Router3--->Server. And finally this
connection will be successfully established once the RODC get the response from DC1. And I believe this will not cause any replication issue .
