Microsoft provides Active Directory Replication Status tool GUI mode to view the AD domain controllers replication and Repadmin.exe is a very old and command line tool it helps administrators to monitor Active directory replication problems between domain controllers and it helps to fix the AD replication issues.
This tool (repadmin.exe) is a available on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. It is available if you have the AD DS or the AD LDS server role installed. It is also available RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools). We can also use Repadmin.exe to monitor the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest health.
You need Domain Admins rights to use the tool, also you can delegate the specific permissions to view and manage AD replication status.
REPADMIN COMMANDS:
REPADMIN /KCC command helps to check Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) on targeted domain controllers to immediately recalculate the inbound replication topology.
By default, each domain controller performs this recalculation every 15 minutes. Run this command to troubleshoot KCC errors after you remove suspected fault conditions or to re-evaluate whether new connection objects must be created on behalf of the targeted domain controllers. commands
Repadmin /kcc
Repadmin /kcc <servername>
Repadmin /kcc site:Default-site
Repadmin /kcc <servername> /async Specifies that replication is asynchronous. Repadmin starts the replication event, but it takes sometime get response from the destination domain controller, /async parameter help to start the KCC immediately, if you do not want to wait for the KCC to finish.
But, we can use Repadmin /kcc without the /async parameter.
