That definitely could be the case. For some silly reason, MS chose to not make links a multi-valued attribute. Consequently it is reasonably easy to get into overwrite scenarios if folks are making changes to the same container on multiple DCs. -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nelson, Jamie R Contr 72 CS/SCBAF Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 7:18 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Links being deleted at random Maybe a replication issue? I think I've seen that happen a time or two but it eventually righted itself.

It seems strange that they would just disappear!

The link can be re-created so we don't believe it's a case of it being there in reality but not visible, or GPMC would whine that the link already exists. It's also not the case that links beneath a particular node disappear: it can be anywhere in the tree. Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society Ltd. Registered in England and Wales.
