If you want replication to occur immediately instead of waiting for the typical replication cycle, follow these
steps:
In Administrative Tools, start Active Directory Sites and Services.
Expand Sites. There should be at least one site labeled “default-first-site-name” (or others if they have been
manually configured).
Expand default-first-site-name, expand Servers, andthen expand Computer.
Expand NTDS Settings. One or more objects are listed in the right pane. One of those objects is a linkto the
domain controller you want.
To see the “friendly” name, right-click an entry and view the name. One of the objects points to the domain
controller you want.
Right-click that entry, and then click Replicate Now. The replication is performed immediately.
Note: The time it takes to update the target controllerdepends on network performance.
