Fine-Tuning Change Notification Values

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2

Replication within a site occurs as a response to changes elsewhere in the site. Replication across sites occurs based on the replication schedule and interval. It is also possible to enable change notifications across sites.

When a change occurs on a domain controller, two configurable intervals determine the delay between the following events:

  • Notification to the first partner.

  • Notification to each subsequent partner.

The above two intervals serve to:

  • Stagger network traffic caused by replication.

  • Spreads out the load of responding to replication requests from its partners.

The following table lists the default notification delays:

Repadmin /notifyopt could be used to view or change the notification timing settings of a specified directory partition in Windows Server 2003.

Syntax

repadmin /notifyopt <DC_LIST> <NamingContext> [/first: Value] [/subs: Value]

Parameter

Definition

<DC_List>

Specifies the host name of a domain controller, or a list of domain controllers separated by a space. For details about <DC_LIST>, see repadmin /listhelp.

<NamingContext>

Specifies the distinguished name of the directory partition on the source domain controller.

/first

The number of seconds after a change is made before the domain controller notifies its first replication partner that there is a change.

/subs

Once the first replication partner is notified of a change, the subs parameter specifies the number of seconds to wait before notifying the next replication partner.

Example 1: Displaying the default notification delay on the ForestDnsZones partition

Repadmin /notifyopt

Example 2: Changing the defaults to 300/30 on the ForestDnsZones

Repadmin /notifyopt

Note

In order to make this change, you have to run /notifyopt against the Domain Naming Master. See the highlighted text in figure 3.8.2.
