What is REPLMON?

REPLMON is a GUI tool that enables administrators to view the low-level status of Active Directory replication, force synchronization between domain controllers, view the topology in a graphical format, and monitor the status and performance of domain controller replication.

You can use ReplMon to do the following:

  • See when a replication partner fails.
  • View the history of successful and failed replication changes for troubleshooting purposes.
  • View the properties of directory replication partners.
  • Create your own applications or scripts written in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) to extract specific data from Active Directory.
  • View a snapshot of the performance counters on the computer, and the registry configuration of the server.
  • Generate status reports that include direct and transitive replication partners, and detail a record of changes.
  • Find all direct and transitive replication partners on the network.
  • Display replication topology.
  • Poll replication partners and generate individual histories of successful and failed replication events.
  • Force replication.
  • Trigger the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) to recalculate the replication topology.
  • Display changes that have not yet replicated from a given replication partner.
  • Display a list of the trust relationships maintained by the domain controller being monitored.
  • Display the metadata of an Active Directory object's attributes.

Monitor replication status of domain controllers from multiple forests.
