I've applied the registry patches on both machines, made changes to AD
and still get 15 minute times.
I'm posting a new thread asking if anyone's intrasite replication
actually works correctly on 2003.
Called MS today, just to ask if there were known issues in this area
but I can't even do that without $250 up front (which is impossible
for someone tied by municipal PO's and such). As far as I'm concerned
this feature is defective (or does not setup correctly at install) -
we are now paying the price for going with a new product (2003
Server). MS's service attitude is pittiful in comparison to some of
the worse companies in the industry.
If it wasn't for the need of AD (for XP workstations - monopoly) we'd
have run linux in a heartbeat.
