What best practice should you use when scheduling public folder replication?

Scheduling public folder replication during non-peak hours is a best practice as it minimizes the impact on server performance and user experience. During peak usage times, when users are actively accessing the mail system, replication can lead to increased load and potential slowdowns, making it more challenging for users to send and receive messages efficiently.

Choosing non-peak hours allows for the replication tasks to be processed with less interference from regular user activities, ensuring that server resources are available and not overextended. This approach leads to more efficient synchronization of public folders without disrupting the daily operations of the users who rely on the system for their email and collaborative needs.

While some may consider the option of conducting this task during maintenance windows, it is often not feasible if maintenance schedules do not align with public folder replication needs. Thus, scheduling during non-peak hours strikes a good balance between maintaining system integrity and optimizing performance for users.
