Your network contains a multi-site Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. Each Active Directory site is connected by using manually configured site links and automatically generated connections.
You need to minimize the convergence time for changes to Active Directory.
What should you do?
To minimize the convergence time for changes to Active Directory in a multi-site setup, you should modify the options attribute for each site link. This is because the default replication schedule for site links, which typically runs every 15 minutes, cannot be further reduced. By enabling the Change Notification option in the options attribute, domain controllers are able to immediately notify each other of directory changes, significantly reducing replication latency. This approach is particularly effective for ensuring timely replication in an environment with manual site links and automatically generated connections.
Correct Answer is D. when you configure manual site link replication schedule is already setup to 15 minute replication cycle you can not lower more down. so only option left is to change link site option atribute for use notify setting
the correct answer would be 'For each manually created connection object modify the options attribute.' to lower the replication interval, but it is NOT. (Then the only correct options left is A (which is 15 min replication interval)
I don't understand what is "the convergence time for changes"
Correct answer is D
I think it is D
D is correct answer
D is correct. You can use either ADSIEDIT.msc or Active Directory Sites and Services console to edit the properties of the site link. For example, Sites->Inter-site Transports->IP->DEFAULTIPSITELINK->Properties->Attribute Editer->options->1 (0x1=USE_NOTIFY)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/canberrapfe/active-directory-replication-change-notification-you Answer is D
The "options" attribute in Active Directory site links controls how quickly changes to Active Directory are replicated between sites. By modifying the options attribute for each site link, you can minimize the convergence time for changes to Active Directory. Specifically, you should enable the "Change Notification" option, which allows domain controllers to immediately notify each other of directory changes, significantly reducing replication latency. This option is particularly effective in multi-site environments where timely replication is essential. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice for minimizing the convergence time for changes to Active Directory.
I was wrong. A is correct. To minimize the convergence you need to modify the replication schedule.
Had this on my exam recently.
For me it's answer D. You can set options to 1 (Use_Notify)
Answer D Modify options site link attribute to enable Change Notification

D seems to be the correct answers
You cannot lower the replication schedule further down when you configure manual site link replication. Therefore, the only option left is to change the link site option attribute to use notification
"A" seems the most logical way to archive this. Microsoft looks for standard supported answers. Updating the "repInterval" attribute is too much work and doesn't even show correctly in GUI when using something less than 15 minutes, therefore "A" is correct.
A is correct
Correct is A.. D states: . For each site link, modify the options attribute. It clearly states 'site link', not 'manually created connection object'. Based on the link below, for InterSite replication relationship the 'options' attribute is not inherited down to connection objects (domain controller level). "if it's a manual connection object, it will NOT inherit the Options value from the Site Link object. You're going to have to enable change notifications directly on the manually created connection object".
Answer: D, options attribute. Modifying the options attribute for each site link will minimize Active Directory replication convergence time through optimizing inter-site replication settings.
D. Modify the options attribute: The options attribute is used for specific advanced configurations (e.g., enabling or disabling compression). It does not affect replication frequency or convergence time.
its definitely not A because its only control (WHEN) replication happens. but dose not reduce convergence time
C. Create a site link bridge that contains all the site links. Site Link Bridges: Site link bridges allow for automatic replication between all sites by connecting site links in a transparent manner. This ensures that replication occurs in the most efficient manner, without needing to manually define replication paths for every possible connection.
