  1. kurt says:

    Wrong answer. DfsrDiag: Performs diagnostic tests of DFS Replication. It does not start a replication.

    Correct: Active Directory Sites and Services, go to site, select server, select NTDS setting, right click select “Replicate Now”.
    Other option would be use the command “repadmin /replicate”

    Technet says

    “How do I force replication or polling?
    You can force replication immediately by using DFS Management, as described in Edit Replication Schedules. You can also force replication by using the Sync-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet, included in the DFSR PowerShell module introduced with Windows Server 2012 R2, or the Dfsrdiag SyncNow command. You can force polling by using the Update-DfsrConfigurationFromAD cmdlet, or the Dfsrdiag PollAD command.”

    so it looks like it could be either B or D, I would be inclined to go for D due to this taking least administrative effort.

    Thanks.
