Repadmin.exe: Replication Diagnostics Tool
Overview | Notes | Syntax | Examples | Related Tools	Open Command Prompt

This command-line tool assists administrators in diagnosing replication problems between Windows domain controllers.

Administrators can use RepAdmin to view the replication topology (sometimes referred to as RepsFrom and RepsTo) as seen from the perspective of each domain controller. In addition, RepAdmin can be used to manually create the replication topology (although in normal practice this should not be necessary), to force replication events between domain controllers, and to view both the replication metadata and up-to-datedness vectors.

Normally, the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) manages the replication topology for each naming context held on domain controllers.

Important

• During the normal course of operations, there is no need to manually create the replication topology. Incorrect use of this tool may adversely impact the replication topology. The primary use of this tool is to monitor replication so that problems such as offline servers or unavailable LAN/WAN connections can be identified.
