Hi,
There are four ways of initiating replication between direct replication
partners. These methods are:
Using the Active Directory Sites and Services MMC snap-in
Using the command-line Repadmin.exe tool from the Windows 2000 Support
Tools suite
In a Microsoft Visual Basic script using a COM object from the Windows 2000
Support Tools suite
Using Active Directory Replication Monitor (Replmon) from the Windows 2000
Support Tools suite
Each of these methods supports using some form of remote administration,
allowing an administrator to use these tools from any Windows 2000-based
computer.
Initiating Replication Using the Sites and Services Manager Snap-in
==========================================================
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click Active Directory Sites and Services.
Expand the Sites container in the left pane. Expand the container that
represents the name of the site containing the target server that needs to
be synchronized with its replication partners.
Expand the Servers container, and then expand the target server to display
the NTDS Settings object (an object that represents settings for the domain
controller).
Click the NTDS Settings object. The connection objects in the right pane
represent the target server's direct replication partners.
Right-click a connection object in the right pane, and then click Replicate
Now. Windows 2000 initiates replication of any changes from the source
server (the server represented by the connection object) to the target
server for all directory partitions the target server is configured to
replicate from the source server.
For more information on how to initiate the replication on other methods
