I have some vicarious experience (I didn't have to implement the topology, but I helped the guys who did).
0) Don't do the replication topology manually if you can help it. But if you have no choice: 1) Keep the topology as simple as possible. 2) Verify transitive closure. 3) Lock down the topology so that random admins can't change it "to make it better" 4) Have a fall back topology when critical links or DCs go down. 5) Monitor, monitor, monitor. (Yes, I'm biased, but you'll hear the same thing from Microsoft) -gil Gil Kirkpatrick CTO, NetPro -----Original Message----- From: Jef Kazimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 7:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Manual Replication - Any suggestions? I'm currently working at a company where we have 115 international sites, and 3 domains. The KCC and ISTG are working sub-optimal, and it seems on MS's advice we are going to calculate a manual replication connection model. Anyone have any experience this, and have any gotcha's we should be expecting?
