DsReplicaSync function
The DsReplicaSync function synchronizes a destination naming context (NC) with one of its sources.
Syntax
DWORD DsReplicaSync(
_In_ HANDLE hDS,
_In_ LPCTSTR NameContext,
_In_ const UUID *pUuidDsaSrc,
_In_ ULONG Options
);
Parameters
- hDS [in]
-
Contains a directory service handle obtained from either the DSBind or DSBindWithCred function.
- NameContext [in]
-
Pointer to a constant null-terminated string that specifies the distinguished name of the destination NC.
- pUuidDsaSrc [in]
-
Pointer to the UUID of a source that replicates to the destination NC.
- Options [in]
-
Passes additional data used to process the request. This parameter can be a combination of the following values.
-
Causes the source directory system agent (DSA) to verify that the local DSA is present in the source replicates-to list. If not, the local DSA is added. This ensures that the source sends change notifications.
-
This value is not supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003: Synchronizes from all sources.
-
Performs this operation asynchronously.
Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003: Required when using DS_REPSYNC_ALL_SOURCES.
-
Synchronizes even if the link is currently disabled.
-
Synchronizes starting from the first Update Sequence Number (USN).
-
Synchronizes using an ISM.
-
Does not discard this synchronization request, even if a similar synchronization is pending.
-
Indicates this operation is a periodic synchronization request as scheduled by the administrator.
-
Indicates this operation is a notification of an update marked urgent.
-
Replica is writable. Otherwise, it is read-only.
Return value
If the function performs its operation successfully, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is one of the standard Win32 API errors.
Remarks
The server that DsReplicaSync executes on is called the destination. The destination naming context is brought up-to-date with respect to a source system, identified by the UUID of the source system NTDS Settings object. The destination system must already be configured so that the source system is one of the systems from which it receives replication data.
