It may be of value to have replication occur as frequently as possible. For example, this may be the case when implementing and testing logon scripts. Replication can be configured to occur a minimum value of one minute.

NOTE: This can significantly increase network traffic, and possibly impact network performance.

MORE INFORMATION

To set the export server's replication interval at it's minimum value of one minute:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).

From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:

\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Replicator\Parameters

Add an entry as follows:

Value: Interval
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data(hex): 1

To set the export server's guard time interval, the number of minutes an export directory must be stable (no change to any files) before being replicated, to the minimum value of zero:

Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).

From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:

\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Replicator\Parameters

Add an entry as follows:

Value: GuardTime
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data(hex): 0

Note: Reducing the guard time to zero while in the process of replicating may generate error messages in the System Log. This is caused by the system attempting to access open files.
