Application Directory Partition
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) supports application directory partitions. An application directory partition can contain a hierarchy of any type of objects, except security principals. You can configure an application directory partition to replicate to any set of domain controllers in the forest. An application directory partition can replicate to domain controllers in different domains in the forest. Unlike a domain directory partition, an application directory partition is not required to replicate to all domain controllers in a domain.
