Managing inbound and outbound replication

On a per-domain controller basis, an Active Directory admin can disable inbound and/or outbound replication. Later, inbound and/or outbound replication can be re-enabled.

The obvious choice for managing inbound and outbound replication is to use repadmin.exe.

Getting ready

To work with repadmin.exe, sign in to a domain controller.

How to do it...

Issue the following command on an elevated Command Prompt (cmd.exe) on the domain controller for which you want to disable inbound replication:

repadmin.exe /options DC01 +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL

Issue the following command on an elevated Command Prompt (cmd.exe) on the domain controller for which you want to disable outbound replication:

repadmin.exe /options DC01 +DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL

Issue the following command on an elevated Command Prompt (cmd.exe) on the domain controller for which you want to re-enable inbound replication:

repadmin.exe /options DC01 -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL...
