The Domain Partition
The domain partition holds domain-related information in containers as well as organizational
units (OUs). It includes information about users, groups, and computers in that domain. Exchange
Server 2007 creates for every domain-prepared domain (which means that the Exchange
Setup /
PrepareDomain
has been run for the domain) an OU called “Microsoft Exchange Security
Groups” where it will store Exchange related management groups.
The domain partition is stored on every domain controller of that specific domain. Every
global catalog server has a subset of information from every domain partition in the forest, as
well as the complete partition from its own domain. For example, a global catalog server in
a different domain will contain information of the individual user, such as the user’s display
name or its SMTP addresses, but not its password.
