Microsoft has released new version of Active
Directory Replication Status Tool (ADREPLSTATUS) which analyzes the
status of replication of all Domain Controllers in the Active Directory domain
or forest.
It is the advanced version of repadmin
. It displays output in a format which is similar to REPADMIN /SHOWREPL /*CSV
imported into Excel with significant enhancements.
Specific capabilities for
this tool include:
• Expose Active Directory
replication errors occurring in a domain or forest. .
• Prioritize errors that
need to be resolved in order to avoid the creation of lingering objects in
Active Directory forests.
• Help administrators and
support professionals resolve replication errors by linking to Active Directory
replication troubleshooting content on Microsoft TechNet. .
• Allow replication data
to be exported to source or destination domain administrators or support professionals
for offline analysis.
