Active Directory replication in a multilingual environment


If you have a large organization and plan on deploying a single Active Directory domain in a multilingual environment (for example, a single domain that spans national geographical boundaries) then you might be wondering how this could impact Active Directory replication. For example, what if you have one domain controller running the English version of Windows Server 2003 and another domain controller running the German version, with both domain controllers belonging to the same domain? Fortunately, it turns out there are no issues at all with doing this i.e. Active Directory replication is unaffected by having domain controllers running different language versions of Windows Server 2003.
