Configure the Site Link Interval to Identify How Often Replication Polling Can Occur During the Schedule Window

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2

Bridgehead servers initiate intersite replication by polling their replication partners. You configure the polling schedule on the site link object in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You can use this procedure and the properties on the site link object to determine how often during the available replication schedule you want bridgehead servers to poll their intersite replication partners for changes. Obtain the interval value from your design team.

Note

Intersite connection objects also have a schedule; they inherit their schedule and interval from the site link object.

Membership in Enterprise Admins, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

  3. In the details pane, right-click the site link object that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
