Hi Adam,

Apologies as I might have overlooked you stating this but did you setup your
sites using Active Directory Sites & Services Tool? This tool is necessary
for correct site replication.

Prior to Samba 4.5, I believe full mesh replication was the standard. In 4.5
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.5.0.html  samba introduced KCC
improvements for sparse network replication. At that time, you could use the
command "kccsrv:samba_kcc = yes" in your smb.conf to turn this on and
off. Setting this to off will result in full mesh replication. I advise against
turning this off especially in larger networks. Instead, I would look to
properly configure sites and services.
