Hi
We have three domain controllers and a while ago we had issues with
replication times. I wrote a script which tells me the differences
between the attribute values on different servers.
I notice that some attributes seem to consistently be out of sync, see

Question
Does AD replication have a priority in what it pushes for replication
?
TIA Paul
 
Hi Paul,

Some events like password changes, account disabling, and the like try to
replicate on a much faster timeline than the normally defined schedule.
you'll also see a difference between sites depending on your topology.

To investigate problems, I would install the Support tools from the server
CD and start doing replmon reports to compare partition version numbers and
to look for problems. You may also follow up with verbose runs of netdiag
and dcdiag, though I think replmon will give you most of what you want.
 
Note: Account disabling is not trigged as urgent replication. How ever
Account Lockouts are trigged as urgent replication
