Q.
If you have no eDirectory replica on your server, should you be able to see any objects when you do DSBrowse?

A.
Dear Browsing Billy: You know, you would probably think that you wouldn't see any objects, but you would be wrong. Yes, it is normal to see some objects in DSBrowse even if the server doesn't hold any replicas.
What you see are external references. Select one of the objects from the Tree Browse and press <Enter>; then from the menu select View Object Details. The partition name is shown as an External Reference. What you see is actually the contents of the External Reference partition.
