Scripts to automate Replication

[Pam]

Each time I make a change to my server setup, I have to go
into each of the sites and manually replicate them. This
is a huge pain. Does anyone know of a script that can
automate this for me? It would be handy to just run a
script after I make a change to do the replication for me.

auto replication should do this for you, have you got it set up correctly?

RepAdmin maybe?

Thanks very much! This is exactly what I needed. The
auto replication isn't fast enough. I need something to
replicate quick for testing.

IF you are ONLY testing and you have a reasonably
small network and/or reasonably good bandwidth....

....You can also set your replication interval down to
15 minutes (I believe that's the lower limit).

Do NOT do this for large production domains but if
you are playing it usually is ok - even small production
domains may do fine.

We did this over Cable/DSL WANs for 20-30 nodes
with no issues. It's not hard to caculate how little traffic
is exchanged with so few users/computers.

Of course, if you are playing with scripts that change a
million user accounts, Your Milage May Very (tm)
