To ignore replication schedules

  1. Open Active Directory Sites and Services.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the intersite transport protocol that contains the site link schedules you want ignored, and then click Properties.

    Where?

    • Active Directory Sites and Services/Sites/Inter-Site Transports/the intersite transport protocol for which you want replication schedules ignored
  3. Select the Ignore schedules check box.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group (in the forest root domain) or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.

  • To open Active Directory Sites and Services, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Sites and Services.

  • When Ignore schedules is selected, any site link availability schedules that have been configured are ignored, and all site links become always available for replication. When Ignore schedules is cleared, any previously configured site link availability schedules go back into effect. If no site link availability schedules have been configured, selecting Ignore schedules has no effect.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
