I thought that the ADS&S Stuff was the "Lather" ADS&S gets me all lathered up, that's for sure... ;-) BTW, Here is the script that I use to force all DC's that are in the "Domain Controller" OU to synch with each other. It requires IADSTools.dll to be installed. <-------Start Script--------> 1. Option Explicit 2. Dim objRootDSE, objOU, comDLL 3. Dim strDomainName 4. Dim objDomainController, objDomainController2 5. Dim intResult 6. Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE";) 7. strDomainName = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext") 8. wscript.echo "Beginning Synch for " & strDomainName 9. WScript.Echo "---------------------------------------------------" 10. WScript.Echo 11. Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Domain Controllers," & strDomainName) 12. Set comDLL = CreateObject("IADsTools.DCFunctions") 13. For Each objDomainController In objOU 14. For Each objDomainController2 In objOU 15. If objDomainController.cn <> objDomainController2.cn Then 16. WScript.echo " Requesting Synch between " & objDomainController.cn & " and " & objDomainController2.cn 17. intResult = comDLL.ReplicaSync(CStr(objDomainController.cn), CStr(strDomainName), CStr(objDomainController2.cn)) 18. If intResult=0 Then 19. wscript.echo " Completed successfully." 20. Else 21. wscript.echo " Failed " & comDLL.LastErrorText 22. End If 23. WScript.Echo 24. End If 25. Next 26. Next <--------End Script---------> Remove the line numbers and save as a .vbs file...

What if there are 30 DC's? (I don't have 30... But what if?) Maybe I'm missing something... Basically, I miss the old "Synchronize Entire Domain" option from Server Mangler...
