RE: [ActiveDir] Inter-site Urgent replication

Title: RE: Inter-site Urgent replication

We are at SP3.  I've gone through most of those articles already.  re-reading 232690 it does refer to my issue:

 

"Windows 2000 enables change notifications to propagate across inter-site connections. This is administratively configured on each site-link. Enabling change notifications across site-links propagates all change notifications. This enables urgent changes and all other replication events to propagate to a remote site with the same frequency as within the source site."

 

I can't find anymore info on "Enabling change notifications" other than "ignore replication schedule" on the IP transport.  Doh!

Diane,

 

What service pack level are you at?  A lot of fixes for password lockout and urgent replication were put into SP3 and more in SP4.

 

The following MS articles may be relevant to your question:

 

Urgent Replication Triggers in Windows 2000 - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=232690

Account Unlocks and Manual Password Expirations Are Not Replicated Urgently - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306133

Service Packs and Hotfixes that are available to resolve account lockout issues - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=817701 

 

If you are having a lot of account lockout issues, this web cast is "must see TV" - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813500

 

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi Diane,

My understanding (haven't tried it myself) is that urgent intersite replication observes the intersite replication schedule. You can work around this by enabling intersite notifications, but then that effectively circumvents any replication schedule.

That's my understanding anyway.

Greetings

In an effort to localize our authentication traffic, we recently implemented a multi-site configuration moving away from our single mega-site (single domain).  All DCs are on high bandwidth links but we are trying to reduce authentication across the WAN.  All inter-site transports are configured for a maximum replication frequency (15 minutes). 

An assumption on my part (and probably erroneous) is that urgent replication triggers such as account lockouts will still bypass inter-site replication schedules and be replicated to all DCs in the domain.  We're getting a smattering of reports that the events such as account lockouts are not getting replicated quickly.  Putting 2 and 2 together, it looks like urgent replication is not carried between sites.  Is my assumption correct and can I enabled urgent replication between sites?
