There are certain Windows cmdlets and utilities which we can use for replication issue troubleshooting purposes. Among these, Repadmin.exe is the most commonly used Microsoft utility. It is available in servers which have the AD DS or AD LDS role installed. It is also part of the ;Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT). This utility is recommended to be run as a Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin. However, it is also possible to delegate permissions only to review and manage replication.
Microsoft had a great little utility called Active Directory Replication Status Tool (ADREPLSTATUS), which allowed us to review replication status and find any potential issues. It is no longer available for the public and has been replaced by the OMS AD replication status tool.
The following list contains the commands supported by repadmin:
