Parent/Child Domain Replication Question

I have two 2k3 Server setup in a Parent/Child Config. I am doing this under
a test scenario at the moment and the question I have is, when we go live
with our new servers, we will eventually have 5 2k3 servers at as many
locations, we will have them set up in a Parent/Child config, we would like
to have it setup to where when one person from warehouse A goes to Warehouse
B, they can login with their username from Warehouse A. I have my two test
servers replicating, but it doesn't appear as though the AD Users and
Computers are replicating.

Does this replication take place in a Parent/Child config or do you just
change the domain when you login?

Thanks
Eric

Eric the Domain Partion are unique for each domain and dose not replicate
between domains. Domain Controllers in root only holds a replica of the
root, and domain controllers in child holds the replica of the child, Schema
and Configuration Partion are replicated wide. How ever if the link below
sites allow, you can logon to any trusted domain but can only be
authenticated to a domain controller in the domain where the account exists.

One of the considerations for creating child domains is the need for
distinct security boundary. Chriss3 is correct. This behavior is normal.
