I read Richard Adams’ “Registry Tweaks to Tune Your Network” (May) and had a question about how many BDCs a PDC will send an announcement to concurrently. The article said the default is 20 BDCs. However, according to Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courseware 689, the number of concurrent BDCs is 10. The MOC contradicts itself in the review answers of the Delivery Guide in the same module. The answer there says that the PDC will wait for 2 BDCs to complete synchronization before the next 2 BDCs will start. Can you clarify which information is accurate and what answer is correct on the corresponding exam?

You’re quite right that the MOC courseware says the PDC updates 10 BDCs at a time. However, Microsoft TechNet is clear that, in fact, the PDC updates 20 BDCs at a time. I think Microsoft increased the default number from 10 in Windows NT 3.51 to 20 in NT 4.0, and somehow the courseware wasn’t updated (several other inconsistencies exist in the MOC courseware). What is the right answer for the Enterprise exam? Without having access to the answers, I can’t say. You might try the Microsoft online support Web site (http://support.microsoft.com) for more information.
