Problem

You want to enable strict or loose replication consistency.

Solution

Using a graphical user interface

  2. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services NTDS Parameters.

  3. If the Strict Replication Consistency value does not exist, right-click on Parameters and select New DWORD Value. For the name, enter Strict Replication Consistency.

  4. In the right pane, double-click on the value and enter 1 to enable strict consistency or 0 to enable loose consistency.

Using a command-line interface

To enable strict consistency, run the following command:

> reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters /v "Strict[RETURN] 
Replication Consistency" /t REG_DWORD /d 1
