Displays changes from a specified directory partition or changes
to a specified object. Syntax 1 saves changes to a directory
partition. If this information is saved to a file the
getchanges operation can be run again for comparison. Syntax
2 shows changes to a specified object.
Specifies the distinguished name of the directory
partition.
SourceDSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller that hosts the
directory partition (Directory Server Agent) whose changes you want
to view.
/cookie:File
Specifies a name for the file to which list changes are
saved.
DestDSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller that hosts the
object (Directory Server Agent) whose changes you want to
view.
SourceDSAobjectGUID
Specifies the unique hexadecimal number that identifies the
object whose changes will be listed. The objectGUID can be
retrieved by using the /showreps operation.
/verbose
Lists detailed information.
/statistics
Displays a summary of information about changes instead of a
list of individual changes.
Remarks
The information from Syntax 1 can be saved to a file for later
comparison.
Forces the Knowledge Consistency Checker to recalculate
replication topology for a specified domain controller. By default
this recalculation occurs every 15 minutes.
repadmin/kcc[DSA][/async]
Parameters
DSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller (Directory
Server Agent).
/async
Specifies that replication will be asynchronous. This means
that RepAdmin will start the replication event, but it does not
expect an immediate response from the destination domain
controller. Use this parameter when there are slow links between
domain controllers.
Compares properties of specified domain controllers to determine
if they are up to date with each other. The source domain
controller contains the original information that needs to be
checked. The destination domain controller data will be compared to
the source domain controller data.
Specifies the distinguished name of the directory partition on
the source domain controller.
OriginatingDSAInvocationID
Specifies the unique hexadecimal number that identifies an
object on a source domain controller. InvocationID can be
retrieved by using the /showreps operation.
OriginatingUSN
Specifies the USN for the object on the source domain
controller. The USN is for the object whose InvocationID is already
listed.
DestDSA
Specifies the host name of the destination domain controller
(Directory Server Agent) from which to enumerate the host
DSAs.
Displays the replication metadata for a specified object stored
in Active Directory such as attribute ID, version number,
originating and local Update Sequence Number (USN), and originating
server's GUID and date/time stamp. By comparing the replication
metadata for the same object on different domain controllers, an
administrator can determine whether replication has taken
place.
repadmin/showmetaObjectDN [DSA] [/nocache]
Parameters
ObjectDN
Specifies the distinguished name of the object.
DSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller that hosts the
object (Directory Server Agent).
/nocache
Specifies that GUIDs are left in hexadecimal form. By default
GUIDs are translated into strings.
Displays the replication partners for each directory partition
on the specified domain controller. Helps the administrator build a
visual representation of the replication topology and see the role
of each domain controller in the replication process.
Displays the highest Update Sequence Number (USN) for the
specified domain controller. This information shows how up to date
a replica is with its replication partners.
repadmin/showvectorNamingContext [DSA]
[/nocache]
Parameters
NamingContext
Specifies the distinguished name of the directory
partition.
DSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller (Directory
Server Agent).
/nocache
Specifies that GUIDs are left in hexadecimal form. By default
GUIDs are translated into strings.
Starts a replication event for the specified directory partition
between the source and destination domain controllers. The source
DSA UUID can be determined when viewing the replication partners
with the repadmin /showreps
command.
Specifies the distinguished name of the directory
partition.
destDSA
Specifies the host name of the domain controller (Directory
Server Agent) with which you want to replicate.
SourceDSAUUID
Specifies the unique hexadecimal number that identifies the
object whose changes will be listed. The objectGUID can be
retrieved using the /showreps operation.
/force
Overrides the normal replication schedule.
/async
Specifies that the replication will be asynchronous. This means
that RepAdmin will start the replication event, but it does not
expect an immediate response from the destination domain
controller. Use this parameter when there are slow links between
domain controllers.
/full
Forces a full replication of all objects from the destination
domain controller.
/addref
Directs the source to check for a notification entry on the
source. If the source does not have a notification entry for this
destination, one is added.
/allsources
A given destination may have multiple sources for the same
naming context. Directs the destination to sync with all sources
instead of just one.
