User Action



A common reason for seeing this delay is that this object is especially large, either in the size
of its values, or in the number of values. You should first consider whether the application can
be changed to reduce the amount of data stored on the object, or the number of values.  If this is
a large group or distribution list, you might consider raising the forest functional level to Windows Server
2003 or greater, since this will enable replication to work more efficiently. You should evaluate whether the
server platform provides sufficient performance in terms of memory and processing power. Finally, you
may want to consider tuning the Active Directory Domain Services database by moving the database and logs to separate
disk partitions.


If you wish to change the warning limit, the registry key is included below. A value of zero will
