Ad manual replication

Generally, Active Directory (AD) replication works completely automatically and, due to the way its replication topology works, provides replication with very low latency. However, there might be times when—either as a troubleshooting step or as a workaround to a problem—you need to force AD perform replication.  · The Active Directory replication topology most commonly deployed in this scenario is based on a hub-and-spoke design, where branch domain controllers in multiple sites replicate with a small number of bridgehead servers in a hub site. One of the benefits of deploying RODC in this scenario is unidirectional replication.  · The Active Directory replication topology to build connection objects between replication partners; The ADDS replication engine; Resolution. Use either of the following methods to view replications errors: Download and run the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant tool OR Run AD Status Replication Tool on the DCs.

Create one site link for each remote site to the hub site. Only put one remote site plus the hub in each site link. Force replication across your domain. Undefine/delete manual bridgehead selections in each site. Run repadmin /kcc on each DC to automatically regenerate a new topology that doesn't involve manual bridgehead selection. To diagnose replication errors, users can run the AD status replication tool that is available on DCs or read the replication status by running repadmin /showrepl. To view only the replication errors, use the command: repadmin /showrepl /errorsonly. In the left pane, expand Sites, expand the site that contains the connection object you want to check, expand the Servers container, and expand the server for which you want to create the connection object. Right-click on the NTDS Settings object and select Create New Active Directory Connection. Select the replication partner and click OK.

The Active Directory replication is fully automated, and proper planning and configuration of the AD architecture, sites, and replication schedules almost does not require manual replication management by system administrator. Indeed, in small AD domains with several DCs (), there are usually almost no problems with replication.

Use either of the following methods to view replications errors: Download and run the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant tool OR Run AD Status Replication Tool on the DCs. Active Directory replication uses a connection topology that is created automatically by the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) to reduce administrative effort, but can alternatively be modified manually.
