Create or edit a custom connection schedule

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

To create or edit a custom connection schedule

  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. Right-click the connection, click Properties, and then click the Schedule tab.

  5. To specify a custom schedule, select Custom connection schedule, and then click Edit Schedule to edit the schedule that applies only to that connection.

Important

  • Schedule changes are not applied immediately. The new schedule must be replicated to all domain controllers, and the sending and receiving members for the connection 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.
