Hi All,

While working on the Schema upgrade I disable the outbound replication on Windows 2003/2008 Active Directory Domain Controller and when doing the schema upgrade. Once its finished successfully and I am sure all is ok on the DC, I enable the replication.

Here is the command to disable Outbound Replication for Domain Controllers.

repadmin /options localhost +disable_otbound_repl

To enable replication again:

repadmin /options localhost -disable_otbound_repl

Here is the command to disable Inbound Replication for Domain Controllers.

repadmin /options localhost +disable_inbound_repl

To enable replication again:

repadmin /options localhost -disable_inbound_repl
