Force AD replication across all Domain Controllers

Using repadmin.exe it is really easy to quickly force a replication across all Domain Controllers.

Simply use the command:

Repadmin /syncall DCName /APed

An explanation of the switches – /syncall obviously syncs all DCs. APed is the parameters A(ll partitions) P(ush) e(nterprise, cross sites) d(istinguished names)

Repadmin is a very handy tool you can even see the queue of items waiting to be synced by running

Repadmin /queue *
