Windows Server 2008: manage a RODC (read only domain controller)

This is a video about how to manage a RODC (read only domain controller). A read only domain controller will cache credentials (passwords) so that you don't have to waste WAN (wide area network) bandwidth for authentication purposes. It is possible to populate the RODC records manually. Also, when you delete the read only domain controller from the Active Directory domain, it is possible to reset all users and computer passwords stored on the RODC. RODC is a feature only available in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and requires a functional domain level of Server 2003. It a feature mainly designed for a branch office.

On your question at 4:45 - why would you have an RODC with no cached passwords, I had the same question, to which I found that it will still help speed up authentication and it speeds up policy processing for the site, as those pieces can still be done locally.

What was the purpose in adding "never cache" and 'branch users" to the other default groups? Doesn't that achieve the same thing as adding them to the Password Replication tab?
