12.5. Changing the Intra-Site Replication Interval
Problem
You want to change the number of seconds that a domain controller in a site waits before replicating within the site.
Solution
Using a graphical user interface
Run
regedit.exe
from the command line or Start → Run.Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM → CurrentControlSet → Services → NTDS → Parameters.
If a value entry for Replicator notify pause after modify (secs) does not exist, right-click on Parameters and select New → DWORD Value. For the name, enter:
Replicator

modify
(secs)
.Double-click on the value and enter the number of seconds to wait before notifying intra-site replication partners.
Click OK.
Using a command-line interface
With the following command, change
<NumSeconds>
to the number of
seconds to set the intra-site replication delay to:
> reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters /v "Replicator[RETURN]
notify pause after modify (secs)" /t REG_DWORD /d <NumSeconds
>
Using VBScript
' This code sets the intra-site delay interval ' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------ strDC = "<DomainControllerName
>" ' DC you want to configure intNumSeconds = <NumSeconds
> ' Time in seconds to delay ' ------ END CONFIGURATION --------- const HKLM = &H80000002 strNTDSReg = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters" set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strDC & _ "\root\default:StdRegProv") objReg.SetDWORDValue HKLM, strNTDSReg, _ "Replicator notify pause after modify (secs)", _ intNumSeconds WScript.Echo ...
