20100125619 | DETERMINISTIC SELECTION OF DOMAIN CONTROLLERS IN A MULTI-MASTER DATABASE DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY SERVICE - Data is maintained that identifies the available domain controllers for performing management actions with respect to a distributed directory service database. When a request is received to perform a management action on a directory service database object, the particular domain controller that is to perform the management action, called the master domain controller, is selected deterministically. Once the master domain controller has been identified, a request to perform the management action is transmitted to the master domain controller. The failure of a master domain controller will cause the identification of that domain controller to be removed from the data that identifies the available domain controllers and a deterministic failover to be performed to another master domain controller. | 05-20-2010 |
