There is an article on the MS site about disabling the KCC (Knowledge Consistency Checker - i think) service. This is the service that automatically creates the replication links. As long as you setup the sites correctly you shouldn't have problems disabling this. You have to remember to add new links for all new and changed servers... HTH, Paul DeHaan >>> emann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 07/21/04 09:39AM >>> Ok, I have a dozen sites or so, all setup properly in AD Sites/Services. ONE of my sites is generating connections to every other sites DC. None of my other sites are doing this. I do not create VPNs between all my sites, so I don't want these connections auto generating all the time. It causes the DC to send excess traffic to subnets it has no routability to. I've never seen this happen before, hwo can I stop it? ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online Thinssentials Utilities Using the latest software, hardware, networking technologies, proven technical expertise, proprietary software and best practices, EOL provides custom-tailored solutions for each client?s mission and specific goals. http://www.go-eol.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thin.net/links.cfm *********************************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thin.net/citrixlist.cfm
