I would say that the GC task is rescheduled immediately (allowing other tasks to enter the task queue) once a single pass have processed 5000 (expired deleted objects/phantoms, expired recycled objects/phantoms, expired absent link values and expired dynamic objects (combined) in the pass) - The limit is enforced to statisfy database (ESE) layer transacations. - So it's inaccurate that we have to wait 12h for another pass. See table 'Table 17: Garbage Collector background task reschedule' in blogs.chrisse.se/.../how-the-active-directory-data-store-really-works-inside-ntds.dit-part-4

This is great Brad, once again making it even easier to access and remember the AD sites.

Thanks

re: A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone cannot be found or it does not run Windows DNS server.

Hi i.biwajith,

You are right. If the wizard can create delegation records in the parent DNS zone, you won't see this message. Because a child domain is created using Enterprise Admin credentials, you would have permissions necessary to create the delegation records in the parent DNS zone, assuming you are installing AD-integrated DNS. In this case, the wizard creates the delegation records for you.

Thanks,

Justin
