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.

“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, the answer is correct because if you were to use DFS Management for replication, it wouldn’t force replication now. It would happen in about 60 minutes. Using “dfsrdiag -SyncNow” will force replication immediately.
you say answer is correct but state different parameter compared to above explanation (SyncNow vs. PollAD).
the syncnow parameter asks for far more options while the PollAD just works without any additional specifications.
So if there are no further restrictions to consider I’d recommend PollAD over SyncNow…?
May be if you read what Rogue wrote, you won’t post stupid shit….
Why not C? I’m thinking of repadmin /syncall
You need to brush up on your knowledge. Repadmin is for AD objects, not sysvol. DFSRDiag /syncnow would force replication immediately.
Ricky is correct
LOL! People here are snarky.
Answer: D
B is not an option, as the Connections tab is not enabled when viewing a SysVol replication group.
A & C will replicate DS data, but not SysVol.
