You are able to
disable the network interfaces, pretty easy with VMWare or Virtual Server since
you are able to do it from the host via scripting, bit more painfull if you have
to do it from the DC itself since you don't have any remote access when the nic
is disabled (you could use a scheduled task which runs netsh to activate /
deactivate the interface).
Also putting a
firewall with scheduled rules in between would work very well, especially since
you can block everything but RDP at the no-sync times.
As long as you
don't exceed the tombstone-lifetime I don't see any reasons why this should not
be supported since we are just talking about lag-sites without any memberservers
/ clients / users who log onto those DCs.

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD lag sites and replicationI'm looking to implement one or more lag sites, with staggered replication schedules. (i.e. NYC lag replicates tues and thurs, 2-4 am; LON lag replicates mon, wed and fri 2-4 am).
We're concerned that admins can still force replication outside of these hours using repadmin or replmon etc.
Is there a (supported) way to ensure that replication can ONLY occur within the hours described above?
Thanks,
