 From my experience, it is real time from FDS -> AD but every 5 mins  
from AD -> FDS. Presumably this is because all the replication (with  
the exception of passwords going from AD -> FDS) is performed by FDS.  
FDS knows when an event occurs in FDS and can replicate it immediately  
to AD but has to poll (every 5 mins) for an event in AD.

I am not sure but I expect you have to change the code.
