I've seen it implicated in certain situations like a USN rollback or very serious repl problems but it's all anecdotal, the only time I personally observed the flag being set is when I had done it myself. I have seen Jorge mention it so that's fairly authoritative for me.
From: Brian Desmond [mailto:br...@briandesmond.com] Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 11:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Inbound and Outbound replication on DC I've only ever seen this set when someone uses repadmin (or something direct like adsiedit) to set the flag on the connection object. Time delta wouldn't do this.

It ended up being that Inbound and Outbound replication on the DC was disabled which was shown by REPADMIN /SHOWREPS /V: DC Options: DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL I enabled them and that seems to have fixed the problem. From what I am told by the onsite admin he was having some kind of issue with this DC yesterday and the server was eventually rebooted. The Netlogon and the Windows Time service didn't start after reboot and were manually started this morning around 6am (~9 hours later). My question is, if these 2 services didn't start. Would that cause something to flip the replication status to disabled? I don't think so, but I wanted to get the thoughts of the group here.
