Hello Mr. Admin I just want to tell you some good trouble shooting ideas to take to help you fix
your problems. It seems that replication schedule between the sites is higher; you can
check the same from AD sites and services console. You can also force the
replication by running repadmin /syncall /AdeP or use AD sites and services console.
y default! intersite replication across each site link occurs every "#$ minutes
which is %three hours&. You can ad'ust this fre(uency to match your speci)c needs.
e aware that increasing this fre(uency increases the amount of bandwidth used by
replication.
I would also recommend running dcdiag/( and repadmin/replsum to check the
health of D* and replication status in case if errors are reported post the logs. If
that doesn+t help you then you need ,o start with! you can go through this article
about troubleshooting Active directory replication problems! from it you can )nd
-.eneral Approach to /i0ing Problems- and how to use 1epadmin.e0e for monitoring
replication status2 ,roubleshooting Active Directory 1eplication Problems. And see
31eplication between sites is slow- section in this2 ,roubleshooting replication.
/irst! open the console and 4ervices 4ite 5inks and see how long this set up for
replication.
,hen create an ob'ect in AD and e0pect to replicate. *ompare this with the time
set in -4ite and 4ervices-! and is e(ual to or less this ok %ok with the settings that
were set& if you are the highest2 1un the command repadmin / showreps and put the
result here. 6pen the 7vent 8iewer logs and see what errors appear. I hope that this
has helped you )0 your problems thank you and have a nice day 9r. Admin.
