Need to Sync PDC / BDC every 5 minutes to update password changes.

Where is the REG varible to decrease the time variable?

I know about manual syncs in server manager- I am looking for automation...

As far as I know, the default time is 5 minutes, but never the less, here is the key where you can find this:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CCS\Services\NetLogon\Parameters

Value: Pulse
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Range: 60-172,800 seconds (48 hours)
Default: 300 (5 minutes)

I would not recommend taking this value too low, as it will cause extra traffic on your network.

Good luck.
Regards.

The abbreviation "CCS" in the Reg key above stands for "Current Control Set" in case you are confused! I didn't think when I typing it out!

One more thing that I forgot to mention... This value must be set on on the PDC.
