Repadmin

Repadmin.exe Syntax
Repadmin uses the following general syntax:

repadminOperationParameters [/rpc] [/ldap][/u:Domain\User] [/pw:{Password | *}]

/rpc

This parameter forces Repadmin to use an RPC session for network communications.

/ldap

This parameter forces Repadmin to use an LDAP session for network communications if posable. If the LDAP connection fails then Repadmin attempts to connect using an RPC session. This is the default behavior for Repadmin.

/u

Specifies the user name that has permissions to perform operations in Active Directory.

/pw

Specifies the password for the user name entered with the /u parameter.

The DC_LIST Parameter
This section explains the syntax of the semi-global dc_list parameter

{dc_name dc_name.. | * |partial_server_name*| site:site_name |gc: |fsmo_type:[name]}

dc_name dc_name ...

Specifies the host name of a domain controller, or a list of domain controllers separated by a space.

*

Standard wildcard character. When this is used it returns all domain controllers in the enterprise. Improper use can cause a significant increase in network traffic.

partial_server_name*

Partial wildcard character matching. For example, if given the partial domain controller name "woodgrovebank*", the wildcard character would pick up woodgrovebank-dc1 and woodgrovebank-dc2.

site:site_name

The site: parameter takes the name of an Active Directory site (site_name), and returns all domain controllers in that site.

gc:

Queries all Global Catalog Servers in the enterprise.

fsmo_type:[name]

Specifies a group of domain controllers to query by operations master (also know as flexible single master operations or FSMO) type. Valid operations master types follow.

Repadmin removelingeringobjects
Uses an authoritative domain controller to compare the directory of a domain controller (destination) that is suspected of having lingering objects against the directory of a domain controller (source) that is designated as a reference source for up-to-date values for the domain of the destination. When the advisory mode parameter is used, this command provides a list of found lingering objects. When the advisory mode parameter is not used, this command removes lingering objects from the destination domain controller.

Syntax for /removelingeringobjects is available by typing:

repadmin /experthelp

Important

To use the repadmin /removelingeringobjects command, both source and destination domain controllers must be running Windows Server 2003.

repadmin/removelingeringobjectsDestination_DC_ListSourceDCGUIDNamingContextDN/advisory_mode

Parameters
Note

"Destination" in the context of this syntax does not indicate a destination replication partner, but rather a source replication partner that is suspected of having lingering objects. The term "destination" identifies the server as the focus of the lingering object removal process.

Destination_DC_List

Specifies the host name of a destination domain controller, a list of domain controllers separated by a space, or * for all domain controllers in the enterprise. See above for detailed syntax.

SourceDCGUID

Specifies the GUID of the source (reference) domain controller that will be used to identify objects that are outdated (lingering) on the destination. Obtain the GUID by running repadmin /showrepl against the source domain controller that you are using as the reference server.

NamingContextDN

Specifies the distinguished name of the directory partition from which the lingering objects are to be removed.

advisory_mode

Prints a list of objects that are found in the directory of the destination domain controller that are not found in the directory of the source domain controller. Objects are not removed if this parameter is used.

Repadmin replicate
Starts a replication event for the specified directory partition between the source and destination domain controllers. The source UUID can be determined when viewing the replication partners by using the showrepl operation.

Syntax 1

repadmin/replicateDestination_DC_LISTSource_DC_NAME [/force] [/async] [/full] [/addref]

Syntax 2

repadmin/replicateDestination_DC_LIST [/force] [/async] [/full] [/addref] [/allsources]

Parameters
Destination_DC_LIST

Specifies the host name of the destination domain controller (Directory Server Agent) with which you want to replicate. See above for detailed syntax on the DC_LIST parameter. This parameter cannot be used with /allsource.

Source_DC_NAME

Specifies the host name of the source domain controller with which you want to replicate. This parameter accepts a GUID, GUID-based DNS name, or the name of a server object.

/force

This parameter is used to override the Disable Replication option on a server.

/async

Specifies that the replication will be asynchronous. This means that Repadmin starts the replication event, but it does not expect an immediate response from the destination domain controller. Use this parameter when there are slow links between domain controllers.

/full

Forces a full replication of all objects from the destination domain controller.

/addref

Directs the source to check for a notification entry on the source. If the source does not have a notification entry for this destination, one is added.

/allsources

A given destination can have multiple sources for the same naming context. Directs the destination to sync with all sources instead of just one. This parameter cannot be used with Destination_DC_LIST

/readonly

This parameter is ignored by the /replicate operation.

Repadmin replsingleobj
Replicates a single object between any two domain controllers that have partitions in common. The two domain controllers do not have a replication agreement. Replication agreements can be shown by using the Repadmin /showrepl command.

repadmin /replsingleobject [DC_LIST] DsaSourceGUID ObjectDN

Parameters
DC_LIST

Specifies the host name of a domain controller or a list of domain controllers separated by a space that the object will be replicated to. See above for detailed syntax.

DsaSourceGUID

Specifies the unique hexadecimal number that identifies the object that will be replicated. The objectGUID can be retrieved by using the showrepl operation.

ObjectDN

Specifies the distinguished name of the object.

Repadmin replsummary
The replsummary operation quickly and concisely summarizes the replication state and relative health of a forest.

repadmin/replsummary [DC_LIST] [/bysrc] [/bydest] [/errorsonly] [/sort:{delta | partners | failures | error | percent}]

Parameters
DC_LIST

Specifies the host name of a domain controller or a list of domain controllers separated by a space that the object will be replicated to. See above for detailed syntax.

/bysrc

This parameter shows the output of the repadmin.exe/repelsummary command, from the perspective of the replication source, in the form of a table. This means that a given source server is "pulled on" by multiple client computers. The table is sorted in order of the source computers that are having the most problems, across all the clients in the forest. This parameter does not display the destination domain controller.

/bydest

This parameter shows the output of the repadmin.exe/repelsummary command, from the perspective of the replication destination, in the form of a table. This means that the "client" is pulling the changes from a replication source or "server", and the table shows the inbound systems, and what problems they are having with their partners. The table is sorted in the order of the inbound systems that are having the most problem with inbound replication, across all the possible partners in the forest. This parameter does not display the source domain controller.

/errorsonly

Shows only the domain controllers where the partner error is non-zero.

/sort:{delta| partners| failures| error| percent}

Sorts the replsummary table by the specified column heading.

Notes

• The /bysrc and /bydest parameters may be specified at the same time. If this is done, then Repadmin displays the /bysrc table first and the /bydest table next.

• If the parameters /bysrc and /bydest are both absent, Repadmin picks the best one, and displays the one with the least number of partner errors.


Repadmin showattr
The /showattr operation displays the attributes of an object.

repadmin /showattrDC_LIST [OBJ_LIST] [OBJ_LIST_OPTIONS] [/atts:attribute,attribute,...] [/allvalues] [/long] [/nolongblob] [/nolongblob] [/nolongfriendly] [/dumpallblob]

Parameters
DC_LIST

Specifies the host name of a domain controller or a list of domain controllers separated by a space that the object will be replicated to. See above for detailed syntax. This is a required parameter.

OBJ_LIST

This parameter takes a DN or a special keyword that expands into a DN. The keywords are:

• Ncobj:config:

• Ncobj:schema:

• Ncobj:domain: This key word is the domain partition DN of the home server.

• Dsaobj: This keyword is the NTDS settings object of the home server.


OBJ_LIST_OPTIONS

The OBJ_LIST_OPTION parameter is required to perform a generic LDAP search from the command line. The parameter requires a Base DN, with the ability to use a search modifier option. The valid search modifier options are as follow:

• /filter:<ldap_filter>

• /base

• /subtree

• /onelevel


See the LDAP documentation for the LDAP filter syntax.

/atts:<attributes,attributes,...

Returns only the attributes specified. Separate each listed attribute with a comma.

/allvalues

For an attribute, the tool only displays 20 values unless this flag is specified, in which case it shows all values.

/long

Displays one value per line.

/nolongblob

This parameter is ignored by the /showattr operation.

/nolongfriendly

This parameter is ignored by the /showattr operation.

/friendlyblob[:attributeattribute...]

If any attributes are specified, only those attributes named are displayed in friendly format. Otherwise all known blobs are formatted.

/nolongfriendly

Does not format blobs.

/dumpallblob

Dumps the blob in a default byte-by-byte format if there is not a friendly formatted interpretation available for it.

/nodumpallblob

Does not show the blob if there is not a formatted interpretation available.

Note

• A blob in this context means an attribute that is not a simple type, like a string or an integer. A blob is a complex structured type that is stored as binary bytes. In order to make sense of the blob, a program must interpret it and format it. A friendly blob is a blob that the program knows about and can format in an understandable way. The program has a list of blobs that it understands.
