You have site link bridging enabled so this is quite plausible... ________________________________

Automatic site link bridging isnt enabled, and we have 0 site link bridges. We're a worldwide company with 3 main hubs, but it is a mesh network in design (MPLS). I guess i'm mainly confused because the DC at the slow bandwidth site in question only has one replication partner, yet we see connections to it from a large number of our DCs on a regular basis. Is this normal? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laura A.

That said, there is nothing inherently wrong with the replication parameters you list below. Are they the best parameters for your environment? That depends. Is this a Windows 2000 environment? Is automatic site link bridging enabled? There's a lot to consider in determining how to set site link properties; what you've listed below won't really be enough for anybody to give you any kind of realistic advice.

All sites are set for a cost of 100 on the site to site replication, and a replication interval of 15 minutes. I'm presuming this is probably not a good thing. One slow bandwidth site is complaining that their DC is talking to every DC in the domain. What is everyone else using as a replication interval for inter-site replication? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of Cameron and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
