to disable AD replication (not SYSVOL) -->
REPADMIN /OPTIONS <FQDN DC> +DISABLE_OUBOUND_REPL +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
In combination with the above to disable SYSVOL replication-->
SC.EXE \\<FQDN DC> STOP NTFRS
SC.EXE \\<FQDN DC> CONFIG NTFRS START= DISABLED (don't forget
the SPACE between = and disabled!)
If you execute this command both INBOUND and OUTBOUND replication is
disabled so that NOTHING comes in or goes out!
If you update the schema and the domain AS LONG AS REPLICATION IS DISABLED,
you only need to restore that particular DC (non-authoritative) using a
backup that does not have the updates to the schema and the domain/sysvol
If you update the schema while replication is enabled the only way to
restore to the state without the schema is to restore ALL DCs in the forest
