Manually Replicating Directory Partitions
From SambaWiki
Introduction
In certain situations, it is necessary to manually force a replication for an Active Directory (AD) partition between two domain controllers (DC).
Manually forcing a replication does not create a replication agreement between DCs. For further details, see The Samba KCC. |
Manually Replicating Directory Partitions
To manually replicate all AD partitions from domain controller DC1
to DC2
:
# samba-tool drs replicate DC2 DC1 dc=samdom,dc=example,dc=com Replicate from DC1 to DC2 was successful. # samba-tool drs replicate DC2 DC1 DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com Replicate from DC1 to DC2 was successful. # samba-tool drs replicate DC2 DC1 CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com Replicate from DC1 to DC2 was successful. # samba-tool drs replicate DC2 DC1 DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com Replicate from DC1 to DC2 was successful. # samba-tool drs replicate DC2 DC1 CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com Replicate from DC1 to DC2 was successful.
By default, the samba-tool drs replicate
command replicates only object operations that were not ran on the destination DC. This includes:
- Create new objects
- Updated changed objects
- Delete removed objects
To resynchronise all objects in a partition, pass the --full-sync
option to the command.
