repadmin has a few primary commands you can use to force replication as shown in the following table.
Tip
If you are having problems with replication and cannot force replication, check DNS. One important check is to ensure that DNS has created SRV records. You can stop and restart the netlogon service to re-create SRV records with the net stop netlogon and net start netlogon commands.
C:\> repadmin /syncall
repadmin /replicate target-DCsource-DC domain-DNC:\> repadmin /replicate dc2dc1 dc=pearson,dc=pub
repadmin /kcc target-DCC:\> repadmin /kcc dc1
Note
repadmin has a rich set of commands that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot replication. This chapter doesn’t attempt to show them all. However, if you want to dig deeper, check out the TechNet web page: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc770963.aspx.
