Site Replication

HI:
    Since i have created Sites in Active directory site and services, i have defined the schedule for replication between the sites which is from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily every 30 minutes which is happening successfully with out generating any FRS log during this time.
But i can see FRS logs after 5:00 PM as well; i can see that replication has failed at certain times such as 8:00 PM, 12:00 AM, 3:00 AM. I have checked sites replication schedule also DC replication schedule all are fine. But still no idea!
Any help.
Thanks

Yea i have found this option thanks but what about those DCs which are under one site and require replication over RPC every 5 minutes. So if define the schedule for sysvol will the replication between the DCs in one site also stop replication after the defined time?
Changing SYSVOL replication schedule will not affect AD replication between DCs in the same site.
I have to ask why are trying to limit replication traffic. Are you having bandwidth problems? Usually, I would set replication schedules for replication between sites to occur as often as it can.

Yes you are right the main problem is of bandwith. So you mean if i define schedule it will not efffect normal replication between the DCs within site.
Changing SYSVOL replication schedule will not affect AD replication within site.

Here for my satisfaction i am pasting the replication error here. Please have a look.
Event ID 13508
type; warning
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from test to test1 for  d:\sysvol\domain using the DNS name test1.acme.com. FRS will keep retrying.
 Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
 [1] FRS cannot correctly resolve the DNS name test1.acme.com from this computer.
 [2] FRS is not running on test1.acme.com.
 [3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
 This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established.
It's hard to comment because I do not have enough information about your environment. How many DCs do you have, how many sites, what's bandwidth of WAN links between sites, etc...

Well i just wanted to know that if your suggestion will work for this issue or not. I will define the schedule for sysvol if did not work then i will make it as it was,

Thanks
