When you open up AD Sites & Services and go do to NTDS Settings and click properties on on eof the servers you are replicating to, you have the option of choosing IP, RPC, or SMTP. For intrasite servers, this is defaulted to RPC. For intrasite servers, I am using IP (since I have no need to ever use SMTP). I was asking if you could use IP for intrasite, and if so, would you ever? For my second question. I have 2 sites, and 1 server in each site. I can set the replication schedule for NTDS, and I can change the schedule for the intersite link I have setup. The default interval on the intersite link is 180 minutes. The default interval on NTDS is once per hour. Does different data get replicated at the NTDS interval and the intersite interval? Such as account info as part of NTDS, and the \netlogon folder as part of the intersite link interval? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lynch [mailto:lynch00@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 1:38 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: AD Replication -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For one thing, there are only two options on AD Site Connectors, SMTP or RPC over IP. You would only create an SMTP connector that has a dial-up link that has a DC on the other side. I don't quite understand what you are trying to ask for in your second question.

I'm trying to gain more knowledge on a few things: - -Is there any good/bad reasons to change NTDS replication transport on intrasite servers to IP, instead of the default of RPC - -What is replicated by NTDS and what is replicated via an intersite transport. I'm trying to figure out the best way to set these replication intervals but can't locate the info I need. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0 Comment: Public PGP key for Chris Lynch iQA/AwUBPzKOXG9fg+xq5T3MEQKGwgCeOb39btqHwg/NpocPQRasRno9bGAAoLX1 iLHWLkHIYQVN1S4w+jjv7WPf =yQd1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - RTO Software / TScale What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers?
