Maximum RODCs in a Windows 2008 Domain

-

i know similar questions have been asked in forum.  i've seen here ms not know sure hasn't been tested.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/active-directory-maximum-limits-scalability%28ws.10%29.aspx#communitycontent

i have branch office scenario windows 2008 native mode domain.  we have 3000 branches.  will single windows 2008 native mode domain handle approximately 10 writeable dcs , approximately 3000 rodcs?  site configuration hub , spoke configuration.  all ad information expected static - 10,000 unique users.

 

anyway official ms "recommended maximum number of domain controllers in domain" of 1200 seems rather dated w/ links problems windows 2000 dns , windows 2003 frs issues.  

 

can ms please advise whether ad database can hold 3000 rodc data elements , other hard , fast limits?

thanks in advance assistance.

 

i can tell experience, no longer huge fan of rodcs.  managing network on 700 sites, started deployment assistance of pss.  after getting initial small deployment stabalized, experienced increase in management, issues, , other quarkyness (including of things florian mentioned) , in specific case stopped implementation , shifted costs associated deployment upgrading/enhacing nework links these sites. 

one thing learned many years ago complexity enemy of reliability.

i recommend deploy rodcs specific scenarios.  project including deployment of rodcs such large number of sites should not taken lightly.

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 ...
