Re: How often do DC's replicate

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



In news:%234b7XsC2FHA.3568@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Todd J Heron <todd_heron(delete)@hotmail.com> made this post, which I then
commented about below:
> Active Directory replication intervals.
>
> Windows 2003: 15 seconds (Intrasite); 3 hours (Intersite)
> Windows 2000: 5 minutes (Intrasite); 3 hours (Intersite)

I was just going to say that... :-)

Also to address the other comment by Gonzo about the *whole* ntds.dit
database getting replicated, the whole database does NOT get replicated
(other then when promoting a replica DC), but rather just the attribute
changes or object (users, groups, etc) additions.

For Gonzo, here's more info on the replication model:
