STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.



MORE INFORMATION
The actual thresholds are as follows:

Replication Interval

 * Lower Limit= 15 minutes
 * Upper Limit= 10080 minutes

Cost

 * Lower Limit= 1
 * Upper Limit= 32767

If you make an invalid entry, replication continues to work properly. If you add a Replication Interval of one minute, it defaults to use the lowest possible setting of 15 minutes. If you add a cost of 99999, it defaults to the highest valid cost of 32767.

The DEFAULTIPSITELINK feature is created when you set up the domain.
