Does change notification add anything else than account lockouts to the table? I was hoping for some way to add the whole shebang or atleast something that encompasses most daily administrative tasks.

You can enable change notification on the site links between the sites in question to allow them to replicate as if they are in the same site. This has the nice benefit in that you can have separate sites for authentication, SMS, Exchange etc purposes while allowing the DCs to replicate (AD replication only; FRS replication is not impacted) in a more timely manner. The link below contains some instructions on enabling the option. Briefly, you modify the "options" attribute on the site link. Specifically for change notification it's as simple as adding "1" to whatever the current value is. It's "<not set>" by default. The change is dynamic; just wait for replication of the change and the KCC to run on both ends. Especially for environments like what you seem to be describing change notification between sites is a common configuration. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/maintain/opsguide/part2/adogdapb.mspx#EY6AI - Roger *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Anders Blomgren *Sent:* Wednesday, January 03, 2007 6:22 PM *To:* ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org *Subject:* [ActiveDir] do I have to choose between intra-site replication speeds or dc based on site? Hi, We have several different locations, all very well connected (min 100Mbit). Each location has a dc. Right now, each location is it's own site so that the users connect to their local dc. This has the (in my case) disadvantage of limiting the replication schedule to a minimum of 15 minutes. Our network would have no difficulty handling intra-site replication but is there a way to make sure users connect to their geographically closest dc, including dfs? Yes, I want to have my cake and eat it. But can it be done? Regards, Anders
