I have a query regarding DC replications

What would be the effect if the Additional domain controller is out of the
replication bussines for more than two days due to link down.
Will the replication take place once the link is up between the Root DC and
ADC. Is there a minimum time prescribed for the DC to be UP and running

Thanks in Advance

when a link is down between 2 DCs and those DCs replicate with each other...
both will log events in the event log because replication is not possible.
They will do that until the link is repaired and available again. However,
you MUST make sure DCs replicate at least once within the tombstone
lifetime.

The value for the tombstone lifetime for a forest is:
W2K (any SP): 60 days (fresh installed)
W2K3: 60 days (fresh installed)
W2K3 SP1: 180 days (fresh installed)
W2K3 SP1: 60 days (upgraded from W2K3 to W2K3 Sp1)

Thanks for the update,
just to add to it.

The backud data of AD more that 60days is of no use then..
do we need to maintain the tapes older that 60days for AD.

AD can handle this situation. The KCC will recognise that the DC is down and
replicate with another DC.

When the DC comes back online, it will form connection objects with other
DCs and replicate in all changes which occured whilst it was down.

Note: Do not leave a DC offline for more than the tombstone period (60 days
by default)
