Table 5-2

Since the UTDV for a server represents the last originating write for an NC on that
particular server, shouldn't the Server B UTDV be 1111 instead of 1112 after step 5?
The uSNChanged value 1112 on Server B actually corresponded to the change originated
in Server D, according to Table 5-1.

"When you turn replace mode on for all the GPOs, it become more ..."

When I compare this sentence with the table on page 207 it looks for like the
sentence should be "When you turn merge mode on for all .."

First complete paragraph (Beginning "As you can see...")

First sentence should read "As you can see, ntdsutil increases the object's version
number by a multiple of 100,000." vice "...version number (USN) by 200,000."

The version number is incremented; the USN is not incremented.
The size of the increment is a multiple of 100,000 which may be, but is not
necessarily, 200,000.

An illustration of this fact is to be found in the example printout given on page 302
under the heading "Complete Authoritative Restore" where the increment is clearly
shown to be 100,000.
