Advanced AD Replication settings
Posted on August 12th, 2008
Active Directory – Windows 2000 and later
Tip: If you want to override site-link replication settings, look here:
Particularly useful is the paragraph on “Change Notification within a Site”
This would be useful in a situation such as:
- Multiple AD sites located in the same physical site on LAN speed created in order to isolate replication problems from certain servers or applications
- You want replication to be instantaneous within the same physical site, eg, to assist with password resets, group membership changes etc..
