Repadmin
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2
Repadmin
Performs tasks related to replication, including managing and modifing replication topology, forcing replication events, and displaying replication metadata and up-to-date vectors. Repadmin contains several subcommands, which are described below in detail.
Notes
Most repadmin subcommands apply to both Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) and Active Directory, except as noted in the description for each subcommand.
Not all general parameters apply to all subcommands.
General syntax
repadmin subcommand [dsa] [/u: UserName] [/pw: {Password|*}] [/rpc] [/ldap] [**/homeserver:**dsaname]
General parameters
- subcommand
One of the repadmin subcommands described in the "Subcommands" section.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
Dsaname |
One of the following:
|
dsaguid |
Specifies an ADAM instance or Active Directory domain controller using the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the directory service. When you use "dsaguid" against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
. |
Repadmin attempts to select a directory server automatically. When you use "." against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
* |
Repadmin selects all ADAM instances or Active Directory domain controllers in the ADAM configuration set or Active Directory forest. When you use "*" against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
site:sitename |
Selects all ADAM instances or Active Directory domain controllers in the site called sitename, for example, site:microsoftsite1. When you use "site:" against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
fsmo_dnm: |
Selects the directory server holding the naming operation master role (for ADAM), or the domain naming operation master role (for Active Directory). When you use fsmo_dnm: against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
fsmo_schema: |
Selects the directory server holding the schema operation master role. When you use fsmo_schema: against an ADAM configuration set, you must also use the /homeserver: parameter. |
- dsa {dsaname|dsaguid|.|***|**site:sitename|fsmo_dnm:|fsmo_schema:}
The dsa parameter represents the directory server (ADAM instance or Active Directory domain controller) to be targeted by the repadmin subcommand. The dsa parameter can be provided in a number of ways, as described in the following table. (Type repadmin /listhelp at the command line for additional information about the dsa parameter.)
- /u: UserName
Specifies the account name to use for binding to the directory. By default, /u uses the account name with which the user is currently logged on. You can use any of the following formats to specify an account name: account name (for example, Linda), domain\account name (for example, widgets\Linda), or user principal name (UPN) (for example, Linda@cohovineyard.com)
- /pw: {Password|*}
Specifies the password to use for authentication. If you type *, you are prompted for a password.
- /rpc
Forces repadmin to communicate using a remote procedure call (RPC) session.
- /ldap
Forces repadmin to communicate using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) session. If LDAP communication fails, repadmin attempts to communicate using RPC. LDAP is the default communication method for repadmin.
- ****/homeserver:dsaname
Forces repadmin to run against a specific ADAM configuration set or Active Directory forest, determined by the configuration set or forest membership of the directory server that is represented by dsaname. Dsaname can be specified in the following formats for an ADAM instance: computername:portnumber or DNSname:portnumber Dsaname can be specified in the following formats for an Active directory domain controller: computername or DNSname. You must use this parameter when you run repadmin against an ADAM configuration set, and dsaguid, "*", ".", "**site:**site", "fsmo_dnm:", or "fsmo_schema:" are used as the value for the dsa parameter.
Note
- Not all repadmin subcommands require the dsa parameter.

Parameters
- Dsa
Specifies the directory server to which the object will be replicated. For details about the dsa parameter, see General parameters. This is a required parameter.
- OBJ_LIST
This parameter takes a distinguished name or a special keyword that expands into a distinguished name. The keywords are as follows: <DistinguishedName> specify the distinguished name of an object; Ncobj:config:; Ncobj:schema:; Ncobj:domain: This keyword represents the distinguished name of the domain directory partition of the directory server; Dsaobj: This keyword represents the NTDS settings object of the directory server; and, "" Use an empty string to specify the RootDSE.
- OBJ_LIST_OPTIONS
The OBJ_LIST_OPTION parameter is required to perform a generic LDAP search from the command line. The parameter requires a BaseDN, with the ability to use a search modifier option. The valid search modifier options are as follows: /filter:<ldap_filter>; /base; /subtree; and, /onelevel. See the LDAP documentation for the LDAP filter syntax.
- ****/atts:<attribute, attribute...>
Returns only the attributes that are specified. Separate each listed attribute with a comma. By default, returns all attributes.
- /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 /showattr.
- /nolongfriendly
This parameter is ignored by /showattr.
- /friendlyblob[:attribute attribute ...]
If any attributes are specified, only those attributes that are named are displayed in friendly format. Otherwise, all known BLOBs are formatted.

- /nodumpallblob
Does not show the BLOB if there is not a formatted interpretation available.
- /attr|/attrs:** attribute attribute ...**
The parameters /attr or /attrs:, if present, specify that only those named attributes are displayed.
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. 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.
repadmin showcert

repadmin /showcert dsa
Parameters
- dsa
Specifies the directory server to which the object will be replicated. For details about the dsa parameter, see General parameters.
repadmin showchanges
Displays changes from a specified directory partition or changes to a specified object. "Syntax 1" saves changes to a directory partition. If this information is saved to a file, the getchanges operation can be run again for comparison. "Syntax 2" lists changes to a specified object.
Note
For this command to run properly, the account under which the command is run must possess the replication get changes right on the specified directory partition.
Syntax 1
