12.2. Viewing the Replication Status of Several Domain Controllers
Problem
You want to take a quick snap-shot of replication activity for one or more domain controllers.
Solution
Using a command-line interface
The following command will show the replication status of all the domain controllers in the forest:
> repadmin /replsum
You can also use *
as a wildcard character to view
the status of a subset of domain controllers. The following command
will display the replication status of only the servers that begin
with the name dc-rtp
:
> repadmin /replsum dc-rtp*
Tip
This command is only available with the Windows Server 2003 version
of repadmin
.
Discussion
The new /replsum
option in
repadmin
is a great way to quickly determine if
there are any replication issues. This command should be your
starting point if you suspect any replication problems. If you are
running /replsum
against a lot of domain
controllers, you can use the /sort
option to order
the returned table output by any of the table columns. You can also
use the /errorsonly
option to display only the
replication partners who are encountering errors.
