The Active Directory Replication Status Tool (ADREPLSTATUS) analyzes the replication status for domain controllers in an Active Directory domain or forest.

ADREPLSTATUS displays data in a format that is similar to REPADMIN /SHOWREPL * /CSV imported into Excel but with significant enhancements. Specific capabilities for this tool include:

• Expose Active Directory replication errors occurring in a domain or forest.
• Prioritize errors that need to be resolved in order to avoid the creation of lingering objects in Active Directory forests.
• Help administrators and support professionals resolve replication errors by linking to Active Directory replication troubleshooting content on Microsoft TechNet.
• Allow replication data to be exported to source or destination domain administrators or support professionals for offline analysis.
