Hi Folks,
Hoping one of your knowledgeable people can set my mind at rest on this one.
The AD intersite replication interval has a minimum value of 15 minutes.
However I'd like to create a new site that enjoys the benefits of intra-site
like replication (virtually instant) but has its own site affinity from its
partner "hub" site.
Through the wonders of google I came across change notification, which at
first glance appeared to offer what I'm after. I fired up adsiedit and made
the required change on the site-link object.
To test this I created a new OU on a dc in the hub site and waited for it to
show up on a DC in the partner site. I waited and waited and waited and
waited ... I think you're getting the story :)
Eventually after around 10 or so minutes the new OU popped up on the dc in
the partner site. The change notification amendment did not appear to make
any obvious difference to the replication interval.
Further Googling popped up a statement to the effect that change nofication
only applied to the urgent replication of certain attributes such as account
lockout status. This seems to make sense given the behaviour I'm seeing.
So can anyone definitely confirm that what I'm trying to achieve is not
possible?
Best Wishes
