>> Hi Rowland,

time.

>> Reviewing the thread, I show initially Adam didn't have NTDS auto

replication
>> time in the site link to 15 minutes(I wouldn't leave at that value)
which

both.
>> The establishment of NTDS connections don't automatically trigger
the

it
>> doesn't necessarily mean that outbound replication is actively
occurring.
>> Even though Adam said replication was working.
>>
>> It appears that the connection is primarily being used for inbound
>> replication or that the DC has not recently replicated changes to the
>> neighbor DC. I asked Adam to delete the NTDS connections and see if
they

user, dns

replicated

>> the Windows sever.  Having verbose logging on during this time would be
>> helpful. These changes should trigger the repsTo attribute to become
>> populated.
>>
>> I've seen in my own experience happen but only with a Samba
environment.
>> When it did occur, I did the above except I used the samba-tool drs
>> replicate command to force the population of inbound and outbound
