AD Replication

To check replication between AD Servers

 Step 1 - Check the replication health: # repadmin /replsummary

Step 2 - Check the inbound replication requests that are queued: # repadmin /queue

Step 3 - Check the replication status: # repadmin /showrepl

Step 4 - Synchronize replication between replication partners: # repadmin /syncall
NOTA: It ensures synchronization between replication partners

Step 5 - Force the KCC to recalculate the topology: # repadmin /KCC
NOTA: This command forces the KCC (Knowledge Consistency Checker) on targeted domain controller(s) to immediately recalculate its inbound replication topology. It checks and creates the connections between the Domain Controllers. By default KCC runs in the background every 15 minutes to check if a new connection has been established between DCs.

Step 6 - Force replication: # repadmin /replicate
NOTA: This command forces the replication of the specified directory partition to the destination domain controller from the source DC.
