Active Directory - Replication 3

Let's see another way to troubleshoot replication. In some cases you receive a call from a remote site, telling you that the change you made, does not appear in the remote site.
First Step:
Check replication between the two partners. In this example, source Domain Controller: SYPFBDCVM01, target Domain Controller: SYPFBDCVM03

First check out the GUID from the source Domain Controller with:

>repadmin /showrepl



in this case I forced some errors the past days to troubleshoot the lab. What we need from this command is the GUID(red), now we run the next commmand line:

>repadmin /showchanges SYPFBDCVM03.TESTING.COM 4dc3140c-ac14-42ca-9a54-c95b3cb4c0fb DC=TESTING,DC=COM
In the case you have no changes, you see this output:



in other case you'll have the replication delay or failure, again, check:

to troubleshoot every single error in your environment.
