You may want to read this: https://evotec.xyz/active-directory-instant-replication-between-sites-with-powershell/
There is a difference between automatic links and using notifications to provide instant replication (rather than waiting for 15-180 minutes). Keep in mind it's not applicable to all situations, especially complex environments and you should always be careful when enabling it.
I understand this fully. However the issue is not what you are referring to.
In my example, I have 2 DCs, in the same site. so there is no need to set the USE_NOTIFY flag. But Testimo says that it's not right. So if the SIteTo/SiteFrom are the same, there's no need for USE_NOTIFY.

I guess I need to review the code behind it and update logic. Thanks
I have seen this issue everywhere I run Testimo, but this is in my homelab with 2 domain controllers, single site. I updated the Site Link option attribute to "1" and that cleared the "UseNotify" for the first section:
[i][Forest] Site Links [Informative] [t][Forest] Site Links [Pass] [Data is available.] [t][Forest] Replication Frequency should be set to maximum 60 minutes [Pass] [Expected value (Less Than): 60] [t][Forest] Automatic site links should use notifications [Pass] [UseNotify] [i][Forest] Site Links [Time to execute tests: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, 218 milliseconds][Tests Total: 3, Passed: 3, Failed: 0, Skipped: 0]
However, the Site Links Connections doesn't seem to differentiate between intra-site, and inter-site connections and always reports a Fail.
[i][Forest] Site Links Connections [Informative] [t][Forest] Site Links Connections [Pass] [Data is available.] [t][Forest] All site links are automatic [Pass] [t][Forest] All site links use notifications [Fail] [Expected value (Equal): 0, Found value: 2] [i][Forest] Site Links Connections [Time to execute tests: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, 124 milliseconds][Tests Total: 4, Passed: 2, Failed: 1, Skipped: 1]
