Not directly, that’s for sure! If you mean “was it the same problem”, I don’t know what happened to Britain’s Ministry of Health, but there are no buttons involved — it’s the Active Directory equivalent of NT’s PDC to BDC replication, except it’s a multimaster setup, which means it’s a bit less awkward to recover the “PDC” from the latent-but-good “BDC”.

“Luckily I managed to catch one controller before the changes replicated there, but it still took most of the day to get things up and going based on that.”

Was this by any chance related in nature to the one-button replication that brought Britain’s Ministry of Health to its knees?

I live in fear of easy things….
