dcdiag advice required

[ChrisP]

Can someone explain to me what the 'Latency information' portion of the DCDIAG log means please.

Thanks in advance

   Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\NET
      Starting test: Replications

                  7 were retired Invocations.  0 were either: read-only replicas and are not verifiably latent, or dc's no longer replicating this nc.  0 had no latency information (Win2K DC).

The latency check is a test of how long it takes to initiate replication. Exactly the same as latency in a network game.

ok let me re-define, what is the '[x] were retired Invocations.' portion.

Im in my 2008 pre-migration phase and I'm trying to ascertaine if this is a problem or not.

*BUMP* anyone?
