- TITLE :Adding Group and User Causes Full Synchronization
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- In some cases, when you create a new Group on a primary domain controller
- (PDC) then add a new User to the new Group, a full synchronization occurs
- on an OS/2 backup domain controller (BDC); the entire accounts database is
- copied from the PDC to the BDC.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- During the partial sync, NetLogon on the PDC packs a delta for each of the
- following events:
-
- - The membership of the group is changed.
-
- - A new user is added.
-
- - The new user is added to the group.
-
- For the first event, the delta contains the membership of the group.
- However, the newly-added user is a member of the group. When the BDC gets
- this delta, it doesn't handle it properly because the new user doesn't
- exist yet on the BDC.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- This behavior is by design in the LAN Manager NetLogon service.

-
- Steps to Reproduce Problem
- --------------------------
-
- 1. Open User Manager For Domains.
-
- 2. Select a user.
-
- 3. Choose User, and then choose New Global Group.
-
- 4. Add the group. (Note that the user will automatically be added to the
- group.)
-
- 5. Immediately create a user.
-
- 6. Add this user to the already created new group.
-
- The full sync then occurs to the OS/2 BDC.
-
- If you are using LAN Manager version 2.2b on the BDC, error 3226 ( c9 08--
- 2249 ) may appear in the error log:
-
- Error in synchronizing with primary domain controller \\PDC
