Question about AD replication

[Spale]

I have a 8 sites with two DC in each site.One domain.I have a file
replication only on SYSVOL.I don't have any logs with errors.My question is
this:

When i restart FRS service on any DC does it start replication of SYSVOL on
every DC in all sites?

No. FRS uses the same replication topology as the AD for replicating SYSVOL; the only difference being it is *not* compressed. AD replication pulls from other DCs based on UPN (incremental number, basically). Restarting FRS will trigger FRS to check UPNs and then pull if there is info to pull. It will not cause other DCs to replicate.

To modify the replication interval for FRS, go to the following location and change the intervals as you wish:

dsa.msc\domain\system\file replication service\domain system volum and right-click on a container for a DC. (you'll need to view advanced features first)

Ok thanks.I think probably that Sophos Antivirus on our DC's is atacking
SYSVOL folder and cause SYSVOL replication.Thanks again.

What version of Sophos? My last customer was running Sophos and I saw no
such error of Sophos messing with SYSVOL. In fact, most Win2k compliant AV
vendors have all updated their s/w so that it doesn't mess with SYSVOL -as
early on in Win2k's life, AV products were a lot of the reasons for USN
Journal Wrap errors.
