Solved AD Sync between two Sites
-
A screen shots of the error message would be a very good start.
I once had replication issue before, but that was due to AD on one of the server contain lingering object. Not sure if it is the same as what you are experiencing or not.
-
You may want to look into the repadmin command. This will give you an insight into how the replication is working. I think it can even output log files associated with AD replication.
-
@LAH3385 I guess a better question for you is: How did you know, or realized, AD replication has stop working?
-
Network connectivity is a big factor. How fast is it, how reliable is it.

Created User on one side of AD,.. checked the other side, User was NOT there.
long distance replication can take over 15 mins to happen.

I think it is
repadmin /replicate DC1 DC2 dc=domain,dc=com -
Everything looks good - I've heard of replication taking up to 4 hours before.
-
It just occurred to me... does it matter which end this is performed from?
-
@gjacobse you may want to check your site link replication schedule. The default is 180 minutes. You can drop it down to 15 minutes

So I have have limited success.. but success was made. I the user I created on the other end,.. is now on the local AD.
I'll look at this more,.. but think it's otherwise solved.
