some illumination please...

we have several sites. everything is replicating OK. Just curious, every
server has at least one connection that is
reciprocated on the other end. However, a few servers have extra
connections that aren't.

For example, server A has a connection to B. B has connections to A & C. C
has connections to A & B. There is no connection on A for C.

What does this mean? Does this signify that server C's connection to A is
import or export only?

TIA

Hi Bruce,

The Knowledge Consistency Checker makes these connections. You can delete
all of these connection objects and run Repadmin /KCC, this will rebuild
these objects. The connections are from Server when viewed within the GUI.
Repadmin /showreps will let you see the incoming connections when run from
each DC. Your best AD replication test is making an object in C and see if
it replicates to A.
