Issue

Resynchronization of replication for the primary virtual machines is not scheduled for off-peak hours.

Impact

The longer a virtual machine is in a state requiring resynchronization, the longer the replication log files grow and the more unreplicated changes occur on the primary virtual machines. This impacts the following virtual machines: <list of virtual machines>

Resolution

Use Hyper-V Manager to modify the replication settings for the virtual machine to perform resynchronization automatically during off-peak hours.
