Hi Russ,
there's a additional tool which would be able to help you
here. If you register the AcctInfo.dll on the Computers running Active
Directory Users and Computers it extends the property pages of a useraccount by
a Tab "Additional Account Information". On this tab you can see some more
informations like the SID, when the Password was last changed and when it
expires, but more important for you it provides you with an interface to detect
in which site the user last logged on and to change the p
Password there. If the user traveled, you are able to enter
any computeraccount in the windows and the tool will detect on which site the
user is currently.
You'll find the acctinfo.dll in the Account Lockout Tools
at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=16174
You'll find more informations about acctinfo.dll on the
following page (search for acctinfo.dll - it's like 80% down on the
document)
HTH.

Betreff: [ActiveDir] Replication issues
We have always been
having weird issues with replication. We have about 30 AD sites all over
the world. When we change or reset a password here for a user at a remote
site, it takes quite a long time (30-60 minutes or more) to replicate to the
users site. So, we are having to connect to their local domain contoller
and reset the password there. What is the best practice for setting up and
tuning replication and resetting passwords, and what tools are recommended
(replmon?) for "testing" it, and how long should it take?
