How do I change the intrasite replication interval in Windows 2000 for domain information?
Active Directory intrasite replication for naming context data doesn’t occur until 5 minutes after a change.
When you make a change to the naming context (i.e., domain) data, the DC’s local copy of Active Directory (AD) records the change, then the DC waits 5 minutes (by default) before notifying its replication partners of the change. You can continue to make changes during this time period. The delay exists so that all changes transmit at once. If no changes occur during a particular time period (which you can configure in the intrasite connection object schedule), a replication sequence initiates to ensure no changes were missed.
This delay lets all changes transmit at once. You can change this 5-minute delay by using the registry editor:

Notice the parameter Replicator notify pause between DSAs (secs). This parameter determines the number of seconds between notification of directory service agents (DSAs). This parameter prevents simultaneous replies by replication partners.
Note: The default value data for the “Replicator notify pause between DSAs (secs)” DWORD value is 0x1e, which in hexadecimal format is 30 decimal (30 seconds).
