SUMMARY
=======
Starting with Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, the synchronization
replication behavior for the security account manager (SAM) database, also known
as the user account database, has changed.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Prior to Windows NT 4.0, full synchronization replication could be forced by
selecting a backup domain controller (BDC) in Server Manager and clicking
"Synchronize with Primary Domain Controller" in the Computer menu. Now, this
procedure triggers a partial synchronization if the PDC and BDC are both running
Windows NT Server 4.0. You can still force a full synchronization by typing the
following command at a command prompt on the BDC:
net accounts /sync
You can also force a full synchronization by using the NLTEST utility from the
Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit:
nltest /sync /server:<BDC_name>
