In this exercise, you use Repadmin to display the replication partners for a n10-004 network server, display the highest USN on the server, determine if the server is up-to-date with another server, display the connection objects for the server, and force replication between replication partners.

1.On Serverl, click Start, and then click Command Prompt.
2.At the command prompt, type repadmin /showrepl serverl.contoso.com to display the replication partners for Serverl. The objectGUID for the selected server and its replication partners and the InvocationID for the selected server are shown.
4. If replication of directory information has stopped, what should you check?
5. You received Event ID 1265 with the error "DNS Lookup Failure." What are some actions you might take to remedy the error? (Choose all that apply.)
a.Manually force replication.
b.Reset the domain controller's account password on the PDC emulator master.
c.Check the Network+ certification domain controller's CNAME record.
...
... d.Make sure "Bridge All Site Links" is set correctly.
e.Check the domain controller's A record.
You are now ready to proceed with resetting the computer account on Server2. Imagine that Serverl is one of your existing domain controllers and Server2 is your recently repaired domain controller that has been offline for over a month.
1.Stop the Key Distribution Center (KDC) service on Server2. To do so, open a Command Prompt, type net stop KDC, and press Enter.
2.Load Kerbtray.exe. You can do so by clicking Start, clicking Run, and then typing c:\program files\resource kit\kerbtray.exe and pressing Enter. You should
see a little green ticket icon in your system tray in the lower right corner of your desktop.
3.Purge the ticket cache on Server2, right-click the green ticket icon in your system tray, and then click Purge Tickets. You should receive a confirmation that your ticket cache was purged. Click OK.
4.Reset the Server2 domain controller account password on Serverl (the PDC emulator). To do so, open a command prompt and type:netdom /resetpwd /server:server2 /userd:contoso.com\administrator /passwordd:password, and then press Enter.
5.Synchronize the domain. To do so, open a command prompt, type repadmin/syncall, and then press Enter.
Start the KDC service on MCITP Enterprise Administrator. To do so, open a command prompt, type net start KDC, and press Enter.
