Right click on your domain in AD Users and computers. &nbsp;With all Windows 2003 DCs you should be at Windows 2003 forest functional level. (general tab) &nbsp;If you are then your groups are using LVR.<br />
Are you seeing any overload on your WAN links at 15 minutes for the intersite replication? &nbsp;If you increase to an hour replication will be fine...just obviously not happen as often.<br />
THanks<br />

I have 10 DCs 2003 and DNS's integrated zone servers spread across the USA and wanted to know that when DNS replication schedule kick-in, is this mean that I'm replicating all the database or just the changes? Let's say for example the size of the DB is 100MB is this mean I'm replicating 100MB across the WAN? Second question is what is the best practice as far as &nbsp;DNS replication schedule?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
