!!! Overview
An internal cross-reference is an object that is created by the [Microsoft Active Directory] system.
For every directory partition in a forest, there is an internal cross-reference object in the Partitions container:
{{{
cn=Partitions,cn=Configuration,dc= ForestRootDomain
}}}
When you create a new forest, the Active Directory Installation Wizard creates three directory partitions:
* the first [domain directory partition]
* the [configuration directory partition]
* and the [schema directory partition]
For each of these partitions, a cross-reference object and therefore a [LDAP Referral] is created automatically.
!! New [AD DOMAIN]
Thereafter, when a new [AD DOMAIN] is created in the [AD Forest], another [domain directory partition] is created and the respective cross-reference object is created which creates another [LDAP Referral].
Because these cross-reference objects are located in the [configuration directory partition], they are replicated to every [Domain Controller] in the forest, and thus every [Domain Controller] has knowledge of the name of every partition in the forest (as well as their superior and subordinate relationships to each other).
By virtue of this knowledge, any [Domain Controller] can generate [LDAP Referrals] to any other [AD DOMAIN] in the forest, as well as to the [schema directory partition] and [configuration directory partition].
