We have Exchange 5.5 Enterprize Ed. sp4 running at two sites with ADSL connections. I tried implementing Microsoft's Directory Replication via IMS - set up everything per the instructions but no replication. Have checked everything several times. Noerror messages, no EventLog entries.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Anyone??

are you pulling information from server which needs to be replicated or pussing from where the data is.
if you are pussing then thats why it's not working. using exch admini program connect to new server and request update.

I am pulling. (actually I have tried both pushing and pulling). I HAVE tried doing a manual pull from the server using ExchAdmin. When I do this, the task takes a few seconds (there's a LOT od data - the first time should take HOURS) and completes with no errors, no messages, no data being exchanged/replicated. I have tried specifying "Replicate new data" and "Replicate all data" - get the same non-result with both.

Hi,

You cannot do any directory replication unless you a connector setup between your sites. All you have to do is setup an X.400 connector between sites and then the directory replication will work. You can find instructions for this on Microsofts site. It is pretty simple.

Hope this helps

Thanks to all, we just put in a T1 WAN between the two sites so we no longer need to resolve the IMS replication
