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

D:
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.

And it can be done from sites and services, so which is the correct test answer?

Connections
Replication partners of servers in a site are identified by connection objects. Replication occurs in one direction. A connection object for a server contains information about the other server (the “from” server) that sends replication to the first server. Connection objects store schedules that control replication within a site. By default, they automatically poll a replication partner for new changes once every hour. For intersite replication, connection objects derive their schedule from the site link object. You do not have to manage schedules on connection objects. Connection objects are created automatically by the replication system.
You can use connection objects to accomplish the following tasks:
Identify replication partnerships of servers in the site
Force replication over a connection, when you do not want to wait for scheduled replication or to test replication over a connection
