Adding new user through PowerShell: They only appear in directory on 2008 DC not 2003

-

i have encountered strange problem when using ps automate ad tasks.

we have 3 dc's. 1 64-bit 2008 r2, , other 2 32-bit 2003.

when i add users through powershell, user creates okay, can not see user in gui ad users/computers on either of 2003 dc's. know user exists, because when i try get-aduser shows up. i went @ 2008 dc, , new user appears there in gui fine. issue since service desk needs able see users in users/computers gui.

at first i thought 32-bit vs 64-bit issue, so i ran same command in syswow (32-bit) version of powershell win7 box, but still cannot see user on 2003 dcs when create them through powershell. 

is known problem mixing environments? have special around problem?

if 32-bit/64-bit issue, do i need download 32-bit version of ad tools on desktop work? also, understand can not install ad modules on 2003 servers powershell, correct?

thanks in advance assistance!

you can run following @ command prompt of both w2k8 , w2k3 dc's verify time of last successful replication other:

repadmin /showrepl

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
