Hi, I have a 2008 R2 domain with RODC/RWDC's. I have one RODC on it's own in a site that has the usual FRS connection, however, it also has two automatically generated connections to two different RWDC's which I have never seen before. What's odd is that only the RODC displays these...

Thanks for your help victorv, the software had some sort of agent that used all the DC's in our environment. I asked them to configure for local DC use only and that has stopped SMB connections going everywhere!

I am only concerned with one AD account that appears on every DC is the Sessions folder. The account in question is an account that runs software that monitors web activity. I am just wondering if this software has been configured incorrectly and is causing overhead on every DC in our...

Thanks for your reply. I know what SMB is, however, I don't know why these clients are trying to make connections to the PDC - should they be? Is it because they have software trying to do this?

Thanks for replying so quickly. I can see 16 sessions, most are workstations and I can see a few DC's - all are in the same domain as the PDC. Does this mean the workstations/DC's have software trying to make contact to the PDC?

Hi there, I have installed in my environment monitoring software that is detecting a high amount of SMB connections to our 2003 PDC role holder. The number of connections is 23, is this bad or something I should be concerned about? I am wondering if this is to do with our trusts to other domains?

Thanks for your post linney. It turned out to be some sort of Nokia Sync cradle software hogging all the COM ports. I removed the software and all the devices being used by the software in Device Manager and now the card is working OK!
