Repadmin.exe Syntax
Repadmin uses the following general syntax:
repadmin Operation Parameters [/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| * |partial_server_name*| site:site_name |gc: |fsmo_type:[name]}
- dc_name
- Specifies the host name of a domain controller.
- *
- 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 return woodgrovebank-dc1 and woodgrovebank-dc2, but not woodgrove-diff-name.
- 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.
| Operations Master Type | Description |
|---|---|
| fsmo_pdc:[name] | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the PDC Emulator. The name parameter takes a naming context. |
| fsmo_rid:[name] | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the RID operations master. The name parameter takes a naming context. |
| fsmo_im:[name] | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the IM operations master. The name parameter takes a naming context. |
| fsmo_istg:[name] | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the ISTG operations master. The name parameter takes a site DN. |
| fsmo_dnm: | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the DNM operations master. |
| fsmo_schema: | Runs the repadmin.exe command against the Schema operations master. |

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 /showattr DC_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.
- Ncobj:config:
- 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:
- /base
- /subtree
- /onelevel
- /filter:
- /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

| Important |
|---|
| Setting these options might impair or disable the ability of the KCC to calculate the topology automatically. These options are intended for use by advanced administrators for special situations. If you set these options, document the settings carefully to ensure that the KCC functions as expected and can be restored to default functionality if necessary. |
repadmin /siteoptions [DC] [/site:SiteName]
[{+|-}IS_AUTO_TOPOLOGY_DISABLED]
[{+|-}IS_TOPL_CLEANUP_DISABLED] [{+|-}IS_TOPL_MIN_HOPS_DISABLED]
[{+|-}IS_TOPL_DETECT_STALE_DISABLED]
[{+|-}IS_INTER_SITE_AUTO_TOPOLOGY_DISABLED]
[{+|-}IS_GROUP_CACHING_ENABLED] [{+|-}FORCE_KCC_WHISTLER_BEHAVIOR] [{+|-}FORCE_KCC_W2K_ELECTION] [{+|-}IS_RAND_BH_SELECTION_DISABLED]
[{+|-}IS_SCHEDULE_HASHING_ENABLED]
[{+|-}IS_REDUNDANT_SERVER_TOPOLOGY_ENABLED]
{+|-}W2K3_IGNORE_SCHEDULES {+|-}W2K3_BRIDGES_REQUIRED
Parameters
- DC
- Specifies the host name of the domain controller on which to set the site options.
- SiteName
- The site that the option setting affects.
- {+|-}IS_AUTO_TOPOLOGY_DISABLED
- When enabled, prevents the KCC from generating intrasite connections on all servers in the site. Disable this option if you use manual connections and do not want the KCC to build connections automatically.
- {+|-}IS_TOPL_CLEANUP_DISABLED
- When enabled, prevents the KCC from removing connection objects that it does not need. Disable this option if you want to take responsibility for removing old redundant connections. Alternatively, to control or augment the topology, you can use manual connections, which the KCC does not delete.
- {+|-}IS_TOPL_MIN_HOPS_DISABLED
- When enabled, prevents the KCC from generating optimizing connections in the ring topology of intrasite replication. Optimizing connections reduce the replication latency in the site and disabling them is not recommended.
- {+|-}IS_TOPL_DETECT_STALE_DISABLED
- Prevents the KCC from excluding servers that are unreachable from the topology; that is, the KCC does use an alternate server to reroute replication. Use this option only if network communication is very unstable and brief outages are expected.
- {+|-}IS_INTER_SITE_AUTO_TOPOLOGY_DISABLED
- Prevents the KCC that functions as the intersite topology generator (ISTG) from generating connections for intersite replication. Use this option when you want to create manual intersite connections (disable the ISTG) but retain the KCC to generate intrasite connections.
- {+|-}IS_GROUP_CACHING_ENABLED
- Disables Universal Group Membership Caching in the site.
- {+|-}FORCE_KCC_WHISTLER_BEHAVIOR
- Implements KCC operation that is consistent with Windows Server 2003 forest functional level. This option can be set if all domain controllers in the site are running Windows Server 2003.
- {+|-}FORCE_KCC_W2K_ELECTION
- Off by default. When enabled, implements the Windows 2000 Server method of ISTG selection.
- {+|-}IS_RAND_BH_SELECTION_DISABLED
- Implements the Windows 2000 Server method of selecting a single bridgehead server per directory partition and transport.
- {+|-}IS_SCHEDULE_HASHING_ENABLED
- Spreads replication start times randomly across the entire schedule interval rather than just the first quarter of the interval.
- {+|-}IS_REDUNDANT_SERVER_TOPOLOGY_ENABLED
- Creates redundant connections between sites before a failure takes place. When enabled, disables KCC failover. Requires that automatic detection of failed connections also be disabled (+IS_TOPL_DETECT_STALE_DISABLED).
- {+|-}W2K3_IGNORE_SCHEDULES
- When the forest functional level Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 interim is in effect, provides KCC control of the ability to ignore schedules (replication occurs at the designated intervals and is always available).
- {+|-}W2K3_BRIDGES_REQUIRED
- When the forest functional level Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 interim is in effect, provides KCC control of the ability to enable or disable site link bridging.
