AD Replication

Repadmin /Syncall /APeD

Hello All,

Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.

This post is regarding how we can initiate push replication in active directory.

Repadmin is a command line tool that’s very helpful to troubleshot and fix active directory replication issues. This command will quickly show you the overall replication status of domain controllers in the forest. Also, manually change it and initiate replication communication between domain controllers.

Repadmin /Syncall /APeD

First we need to understand the command syntax .

  • A = All Partitions
  • P = Push
  • e = Enterprise (Cross Site)
  • D = Identify servers by distinguished name in messages.

This performs a pull replication by default, which is how AD works by default. Use the following command to do push replication:

repadmin /syncall /APeD

If you want to push replication you will use the /P switch. For example if you made changes on DC11 and want to replicate those to other DCs use Repadmin /Syncall /APeD command.

Repadmin /Syncall /APeD

Additionally, we have a video below that demonstrates the same. Do not forget to check this. Please view the video in its entirety for improved text visibility.

Repadmin /syncall

Synchronizes a specific domain controller’s replication partner with all of them.

By default, the command works on the configuration directory partition if no directory partition is specified in the Naming Context> option.

repadmin /syncall <DSA> [<Naming Context>] [<flags>]

See Examples for usage examples of this command.

repadmin /syncall dst-dc01 dc=windowstechno,dc=local /d /e /a

Repadmin /Replsummary

Open the command line and run the Repadmin /Replsummary.

Repadmin /replsummary 

Repadmin /replsummary command show you the overall replication status of domain controllers in the forest.

Please see all repadmin syntax.

So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff. Have a nice day!!!
