    Paul LongThanks for your response. I run this script often.  Is there any disadvantage to running the initial vs the delta?  After I have run the initial will the delta sync work properly?

      mwilliams1895 The initial takes longer to finish, but other than that, there's no issues which I know of.  I've only run the initial that one time to fix an issue, and one other when I thought I was having the issue again (just a few months ago).  However, I think I was just impatient and forgot what DC I made the original AD change to and got flustered when the delta sync didn't seem to work (didn't wait for replication).
