Test-MtAdNonAutoReplicationConnectionCount

SYNOPSIS​

Checks for non-auto-generated Active Directory replication connections.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdNonAutoReplicationConnectionCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Active Directory replication connections can be automatically generated by the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) or manually created by administrators. Non-auto-generated (manual) connections may be necessary for specific scenarios but should be documented and reviewed regularly as they bypass automatic topology optimization.

Security Best Practice:

  • Prefer auto-generated connections for standard replication topology
  • Manual connections should be documented with business justification
  • Regularly review manual connections to ensure they are still needed
  • Excessive manual connections may indicate topology issues
