Identifying Group Changes in Active Directory Domain Services
Question
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains 20 Active Directory sites. All user management is performed from a central site.
You add users to a group.
You discover that group changes do NOT appear on a domain controller in a remote site.
You need to identify whether the group changes appear on other domain controllers.
What should you use?

A. B. C. D.B
The Active Directory Replication Status Tool (ADREPLSTATUS) analyzes the replication status for domain controllers in an Active Directory domain or forest.
The Active Directory Replication Status Tool (ADREPLSTATUS) analyzes the replication status for domain controllers in an Active Directory domain or forest.
ADREPLSTATUS displays data in a format that is similar to REPADMIN /SHOWREPL * /CSV imported into Excel but with significant enhancements.
Specific capabilities for this tool include:
Expose Active Directory replication errors occurring in a domain or forest
Prioritize errors that need to be resolved in order to avoid the creation of lingering objects in Active Directory forests
Help administrators and support professionals resolve replication errors by linking to Active Directory replication troubleshooting content on Microsoft TechNet
Allow replication data to be exported to source or destination domain administrators or support professionals for offline analysis

Explanation:
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is a centralized database that stores information about network resources such as computers, users, and groups. AD DS uses domain controllers to manage and replicate this information across the network. Active Directory Sites and Services (answer A) is used to manage and configure site and replication links in AD DS. However, it is not used to identify whether group changes are being replicated across domain controllers.
The Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (answer C) is a tool that helps diagnose and fix issues with Microsoft products, but it is not relevant for this scenario.
File Replication Service (FRS) Status Viewer (answer D) is a tool that is used to monitor the status of the File Replication Service, which is a legacy technology used to replicate files and folders in Windows Server 2003 and earlier. It is not used to monitor AD DS replication.
The Active Directory Replication Status Tool (answer B) is a tool that can be used to monitor the replication status of domain controllers in an AD DS environment. It can show whether changes to AD DS objects, such as users and groups, are being replicated to other domain controllers. Therefore, this is the correct tool to use in this scenario to identify whether the group changes appear on other domain controllers.
