Hi, We currently have a total of 3 DC's at our Head Office, 3 DC's in our State Offices and 2 RODC's in remote offices. We are experiencing an issue with replication. We have our main DC as bridgehead in our head office, it is replicating fine with our RODC's and one of our state offices (QLD DC) however, for some reason the other 2 state offices are only replicating to the (QLD DC) and not to head office back in Melbourne. I try to manually specify the connections but it is always overriden. Any object created on this SYD DC (problem DC) isn't being replicating anywhere... where can I start troubleshooting. As far as I know there isn't any network issue across any of our site links... Regards, Terry Terry http://www.sucked-in.com

I recommend that you post this to a directory services forum. Replication strategies should be determined by how subnets, sites and site links are defined in Active Directory. You might want to check that out. However, the way you describe should work, i.e., the state offices replicate to QLD, which should replicate to the main office. It seems to me that you might want to configure your site links in a star configuration where all offices are linked to the main office. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .
