Intro
I have stumbled upon a minor problem where some of my Group Policy created doesn’t sync across servers as fast as I need it to be during troubleshooting process. This KB will provide you with a step by step guide on how to manually sync your Active Directory across servers.
Steps
Open Command prompt and simply type the following code:
repadmin /syncall /AeD
This command will sync ITSELF to its domain controller partners.
But what does each command do? The following data explains what each code does:
This is the key string that calls the sync process.
repadmin /syncall
Below are the commands that can be used during the sync process.
A = All Partitions e = Enterprise (Cross Site) D = Identify servers by distinguished name in messages.
but what if you want to sync your active directory FROM the server that you have it configured on?
P = Push
So if you were to push changes FROM source, it will look like this instead:
repadmin /syncall /APeD
Outro
Now you have learned how to manually sync domain controller config across site, here is a neat command line that might be useful to you:
gpresult /R
What does it do? I’m gonna let you figure that one out.
