Powershell and Active Directory: Find Active Directory Replication Servers using Powershell.

 

Hi,

Today my IT manager give me the task to find and create the list of all "Active Directory Replication Server". First i was thought to find it using "Active Directory Sites and services" then i thought lets try to find it using PowerShell our favourite tool.

i use Get-ADDomain tool cmdlet to find the list of Replicated server.

 Make sure you have "RSAT" installed on you laptop.

Now Import the Active Directory module.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

Lets run the Get-ADDomain cmdlet

It shows a lot of information regarding your current domain.  Like Forest, Child Domains, Parent Domain etc., but we are interested in "ReplicaDirectoryServers"

we have to use Dot(.) notation to show the list of all servers in "ReplicaDirectoryServers"  property.

(Get-ADDomain).ReplicaDirectoryServers

Finally, now we have the list of all of our "ReplicaDirectoryServers" ..
