Playing around with Dynamic Client Configuration (DCC)
Tags :Technical
DCC itself is a wonderful piece of technology.
I remember seeing it for the first time when the beta for R5 was
coming out and this DOS window would pop up, show a bunch of updating and
then go away. Later we learned what it was and what it did. For
those that don't actually know what action DCC performs:
Dynamic Client Configuration runs
when the user authenticates with the server, and serves to update settings
on the desktop from the Person document on the server and any Setup Profiles/Policies
that are in place.
This of course has nothing to do with replication.
I bring this up since it was asked why DCC was not also being updated
when replication took place. DCC only occurs when the user actually
authenticates, not replicates since they are already possibly authenticated
and active.
This all boils down to that is a great
synchronization tool, but policies far outweigh what we are attempting
to do.
