Nope, it will do it cross site as well, it just throws the stupid error message. I was of the same opinion as you until working on the AD FAQ and actually sat down in a lab environment and tested it. It sticks the replication request right in the queue just like normal.

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 ?
