This error is "by design". This is what you get by default when you try to force a replication between two DCs in different sites using ADSit&Svcs. However, usually the replication DOES actually occur within the next couple of minutes. You could use replmon to check whether or not the replication has taken place. What the heck ... You could use replmon to force the replication if you don't like "errors". Q232072 describes 4 ways to force the replication between DCs ... However, keep in mind ...

I am trying to force replication from one branch office to another. The schedule is once every two hours, and I cant be arsed to wait. The error says that; "one or more of these active directory connections are between domain controllers in different sites and cannot be replicated immediately. Active Directory will replicate these connections at the next opportunity" ...which is nice. Now, the chances are that the replication will happen anyway before I can work out the cause of this alert box, but im still interested in knowing why I cant force a replication across sites. I tried it between two AD servers within the same site, and it works fine. Any ideas ?
