Connection speed varies from DSL to T-1 speeds. sometimes many changes are
being made daily (new users, etc...), but mostly from the main site and
replicated to the other sites.

What is your connection speed at the remote sites. And how often are changes
being made. I would look into enabling change notification on the site links. I
have over 50 DC's in my forest with about 48 sites and the convergence time is
about 2-3 minutes.
To enable change notification on a site link
1.. In ADSI Edit, expand the Configuration Container icon and then expand
CN=Configuration,DC= ForestRootDomainName and CN=Sites.
2.. Expand the CN=Inter-Site Transports container, and then click CN=IP.
3.. In the details pane, right-click the site link object whose options
attribute you want to change, and then click Properties.
4.. In the Select a property to view box, click options.
5.. If the Value(s) box displays <not set>, in the Edit Attribute box, type
1 for the value (bit 0=1).
If the Value(s) box contains a value, you must derive the new value by
using a Boolean BITWISE-OR calculation of the existing value and the value that
enables the replication change you are making. Then convert that value to an
integer. Therefore, if a value is set, convert the integer value to a binary
value and OR that value with the value 0001. Then convert the results back to
an integer and type the value in the Edit Attribute box.
For example, if the existing decimal value is 4, that value is equal to
0100 in the binary system. The value that enables change notification is 1, or
0001 in binary. The OR operation combines 0 OR 0 = 0, 0 OR 1 = 1, 1 OR 0 = 1, 1
OR 1 = 1. Therefore, the following OR calculation computes the binary value:
0100 (existing value) 0001 (value that enables change notification) 0101 (adds
enable change notification to the existing setting) The binary value 0101
converts to the digital value 5. For information about binary calculations and
converting binary values to digital values, see Windows 2000 Server Help.
6.. Click Set and then click OK.

Subject: NTDS Replication Schedule
Hi
I was wondering if anyone had any advise on setting up NTDS replication
schedule in ADSS.
I have a main site, and 10 remote sites.
I have 4 Domain controllers at the main site, and 1 domain controller at each
remote site.
I know that you can set the replication schedule for none, 1x an hour, 2x an
hour, 3x an hour or 4x an hour.
I was planning on having my local site replicate to the remote sites 1 time
per hour and my local site replicate to the local DC's 4x an hour, but I was
not sure if this would generate too much traffic.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks
Travis
