Re: Urgent replication not seeming to work

Urgent replication doesn't cross site boundaries by default. If you want it to, you must enable change notifications on a given site link:
-- http://www.msresource.net/content/view/32/47/

Note. There's no need to worry about password changes. AD caters for this with a feature called password chaining. Basically, whenever a user changes his/ her password, that password is replicated to the PDCe "out of band", i.e. across the secure channel. If you logon and provide an incorrect password, the authenticating DC refers the password to the PDCe. If the PDCe says it's OK, as in its changed and the change hasn't arrived with the authenticating DC yet, the logon attempt is successful and the authenticating DC replicates the new password from the PDCe.
