Replication

[Diane Walker]

We are running Windows 2000 Advanced Servers. Is there a way to check to
see how often the replications occur? All the servers are local area
network.

Thanks.

You can use replication monitor (can be found in the support tools on the
windows CD) or just look at the ntds replication settings in ad sites and
services to look at the schedule.

For an accurate depiction you'll need to use replmon.

Thank you very much for your quick response. I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

I looked at ntds replication settings in AD Sites and Services. Then, I
looked at schedule. It said once every hour. Does it mean if I add a new
user, or put the user in a Global Group, or the user changes his/her
password, I need to wait one hour before the changes will take place?

Thanks.

Yes and no. For most things that is correct. However certain things, such
as password resets/ changes, have urgent replication triggers which
replicate these sooner.

By default, Active Directory Replication makes use of change notifications
for servers within a site. When a change is made on a DC, it will start
notifying its partners (in the same site) after 5 minutes elapse (default).
Each of these partners will then request the change from this DC.
