Enable or disable replication for a specific connection

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

To enable or disable replication for a specific connection

  1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DFS Management.

  2. In the console tree, under the Replication node, click the replication group that contains the connection you want to edit.

  3. In the details pane, click the Connections tab.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To disable a connection, right-click the connection, and then click Disable.

    • To enable a connection, right-click the connection, and then click Enable.

Important

  • Connection changes are not applied immediately. The new connection settings must be replicated to all domain controllers, and the sending and receiving members must poll their closest domain controller to obtain the changes. The amount of time this takes depends on Active Directory replication latency and the long polling interval (60 minutes) on each member.

Note

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the ability to manage an existing replication group. If you are the creator of the replication group, you can also perform this procedure.
