Starting with Windows Server 2012, PowerShell offers cmdlets to check AD Replication status. One of the PowerShell cmdlets is the Get-ADReplicationFailure which can be used to return information about the recent replication failures for a domain controller or for domain controllers in a specific site.
For example, to return information about replications status of a domain controller, execute the PowerShell command below:
- Get-ADReplicationFailure DC1.Test.local
If you need to check the AD Replication status for all domain controllers in a specific site, execute below PowerShell command:
- Get-ADReplicationFailure -scope site -target Seattle | FT Server, LastError, Partner-Auto
