Domain controller question...
I know I should already know this, but something always confused me. I know that domain controllers in 2k environments replicate with each other... but this is what I never understood:
Ok, say I have two DC's in different locations, they connect through a DSL connection. Ok, so let's say you go in on DC1 and change a password on a user account. And then let's say you go in on DC2 and change the same user's password to something different.
When the DC's finally do replicate, which change does it take as gospel? Is it the one that was last made?
Also, in situations like I just named where the DC's are not in the same physical location and replicate over a medium such as a DSL line, how often does replication take place? By default I mean.

That's a good start man, thanks for the links.
So if I understand this right, basically it's saying the most severe of actions takes rights over the more minor change?
