This article describes how to "Force replication over a connection"
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/2d89f34a-b6db-4b8d-ab9f-c081c53658d61033.mspx?mfr=true You probably have to talk to the infrastructure team at your company, they
might be a bit reluctant to allow a developer mess around in their AD tools.
;)
Replication usually occurs at scheduled intervals between the Domain
Controllers. Reporting Services just uses what ever infomation that is
available to it. So you don't synchronize AD and Reporting Services, you
synchronize the different domain controllers in your AD domain, and then
Reporting Services will sort itself out. If some of the domain controllers
can't replicate or synchronize, your infrastructure team probably has a
bigger problem on their hands than just some users not seeing their
reports...
