I am working a short-term job for a local company. When I
look at their Active Directory Structure in ADSI edit, I
can see the following:

ADSI Edit
   |_[+] Domain NC [xxx.xxx.xxx]
   |_[+] Configuration
   |_[+] Schema
   |_[+] Domain NC [xxx.xxx.xxx]

The first domain nc is an exact duplicate to the second
domain nc. You can update objects either container and
the changes are seen in both containers.

Any ideas on why this has occurred?

Thanks,

Debbie
