Replmon UI

File menu options:

Option	Description
Open Script	Opens a dialog box that automatically populates the Active Directory Replication Monitor with monitored servers. These files have a .ini extension and can be created by using a text editor or by using the Save Monitored List As command in the File menu.
Save Monitored List As	Opens a dialog box that saves a list of monitored servers in a .ini file. This list can be opened later by using the Open Script command on the File menu. If the currently logged-on user does not have permissions to monitor a server listed, then a user name must be supplied after ServerName using the Domain\User format. Do not supply the password in the .ini file. The password is requested as each server is added to the monitored list when the .ini file is read.
Open Log	Opens a previously created .log file. Log files are created by default for every monitored server and statistics are tracked on a per-replication partner and a per-directory partition basis.
Exit	Closes ReplMon and discontinues monitoring servers.
