Re: Replication of 2003 AD to 2000 server: viable for LDAP?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi
If your DFL is at Windows 2000 Native Mode, you shouldn't have a problem
with 2000 DCs. I also suggest to remove/ the exchange to a dedicated server.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

We have a single domain 2003 AD structure. There is a single DC at each of
our two physical locations, connected by a fractional T1 circuit. Each DC
is
Windows 2003 Standard Server (SP1). Replication functions properly. We
added
a SPAM filter appliance at our office facility. This appliance uses LDAP
queries of our PDC to validate recipient addresses. Our email server is
Exchange 2003, also installed on our PDC. Our problem involves these LDAP
queries of the PDC. I should mention that the ultimate source of the
problem
is that we have over 250,000 emails per day hitting our SPAM filter
appliance! Each email triggers another LDAP query, and our PDC is getting
slammed! The LSASS.EXE process, under which LDAP runs, is hitting 100%
utilization and effectively freezing the server! I want to have AD
replicate
to another server to which I can then redirect these LDAP queries, thereby
getting that load off of the PDC/email server. The available servers are
2000
Servers (SP4). Can the 2003 AD be replicated to 2000 Server? I don't want
it
to handle authentication; I only want an alternate responder for these
LDAP
queries by the SPAM filter appliance.
