Your company recently deployed a new Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains two
Active Directory sites named Site1 and Site2. The first domain controller in the forest runs Windows Server
2012 R2.
You need to force the replication of the SYSVOL folder from Site1 to Site2.
Which tool should you use?
A.
Active Directory Sites and Services
B.
DFS Management
C.
Repadmin
D.
Dfsrdiag
Explanation:
In Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2008, you can force replication
immediately by using DFS Management, as described in Edit Replication Schedules. You can also force
replication by using the Dfsrdiag SyncNow command. You can force polling by using the Dfsrdiag PollAD
command.
