Thanks, Jorge. The topology is as follows: - Each office connects to the hub via a point-to-point VPN. That is, there is no bridging at the hub -- this is a bandwidth consideration. - As for AD: we have three sites Hub, B1, B2, and B3. - Each has a single DC that is also a GC. - There are three IP site links: Hub-B1, Hub-B2, and Hub-B3. I am not sure, but at one point there may have been a single site link containing all sites. If there was, it is gone now. The ISTG created a "web" topology. However, we were getting replication errors. I manually deleted the connection objects that connected the hubs to eachother. Those connection objects have not regenerated. There are no manually created connections. Finally, I recall that there is a setting (reg edit?) that tells the ISTG to _not_ automatically create connections. To my knowledge, this setting is not enabled. Anything else I should check? -- nme

How many sites and how many site links do you have and how are those connected? I assume one domain and each DC = GC... #JORGE# _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Noah Eiger Sent: Sat 8/6/2005 3:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Branch Office Question Hi Jorge: Thanks for the suggestion. That checkbox was indeed checked. I have unchecked it and waited longer that a day. Replication seems to have worked and the box is unchecked at all branch sites. The errors persist at all branch sites.
