Managing strict replication consistency

Strict replication consistency is a mechanism on domain controllers that prevents them from replicating with a replication partner when it suspects an object that is replicated is a lingering object. Strict replication consistency is enabled by default but can be disabled.

Getting ready

To manage strict replication, sign in to a domain controller with local administrative privileges.

How to do it...

To disable strict replication consistency on a domain controller, perform the following steps:

1. Press Start.
2. Search for the Registry Editor and select it from the search results or run regedit.exe.
3. In the top address bar, type HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS \Parameters or navigate to the Parameters node in the left navigation pane.
4. In the main pane, right-click an empty space and select New and then DWORD Value from the menu.
5. Name the new double-word (DWORD) value Strict Replication Consistency.
