Paul:
Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. Replication seems to be
working fine as the whole Active Directory replicated when I installed my
backup domain controller. The issue is this single entry does not seem to be
in the list of users in Active Directory on my main domain controller yet I
can add this member whose name doesn't show up to groups, etc. He's there,
just not listed. He is listed as a user on the backup domain controller. If
I created him on the backup domain controller by accident, would he have
replicated to the primary domain controller?
