AD Sites and Services - what do these icons mean?

Posted by Scrug@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 6 comments

https://imgur.com/a/Jq8VQXo I've only worked in IT at one company, and our office has recently been joined to a global domain. I'm trying to wrap my head around the replication process as sometimes account unlocks take ages. Looking at the connections between specific domain controllers, some have different icons and I've scanned through a few articles about replication but none show or explain them.

The default inter-site replication time is 3 hours, this can be changed

Is that your screenshot that's bad or that's how it really looks from your view? As those icons are busted. [Should look more like this.](https://i.imgur.com/vExBYpL.png)

Thanks for that screenshot! I think it's an issue on my PC for some reason. Looks like those icons are not loading properly on my PC.

That's actually how it looks on my screen. 1080p monitor. Looks like it's an issue with my PC. https://imgur.com/a/lIjV7O1

the quality of that screenshot is ridiculous, so i can only guess what it is showing... but the symbols / icons that are usually shown are - site (two buildings) - site link (two buildings linked together underneath with network) - site link bridge (same as site link but a B added to the top right) - NTDS Site setting (one building with a setting wheel) - IP Subnet (has a bidirectional arrow, blue, on the left) i think thats it, off the top of my head without a GUI infront of me
