In this video i will show you how to work with Replication Monitor.
In this lab, you will use the replication monitor to view and synch replication on the server.
- Open Replication Monitor by selecting Start > Run and entering REPLMON in the Run dialog box.
- To add a server to the Replication Monitor window, right-click Monitored Servers and select Add Monitored Server from the pop-up menu.
- The Add Monitored Server Wizard appears. Select Add The Server Explicitly By Name. Click Next when you are done.
- Enter the name of the server to monitor and click Finish.
- To search for replication errors, click the Action menu and select Domain > Search Domain Controllers For Replication Errors.
- The Search Domain Controllers For Replication Failures window appears. Click the Run Search button and enter the name of the local domain. After a few moments, Replication Monitor should list any failures in the Search Domain Controllers For Replication Failures window. Click Close.
- You can manually synchronize either the entire Active Directory or just individual pieces. In order to synchronize the domain DNS zones only, right click the DC=DomainDNSZones,DC=domain,DC=suffix item under the monitored server and select Synchronize This Directory Partition With All Servers from the pop-up menu.
- Depending on how your domain is configured, you can choose the Disable Transitive Replication, Push Mode, or Cross Site Boundaries checkboxes. In this case, leave them blank and click OK.
- You will be prompted to confirm the replication. Click Yes.
- Click OK at the success notification. Close all of the open windows and return to the lab selection screen.
