Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
Triggers replication of passwords for the specified users from a writable Windows Server 2008 source domain controller to one or more read-only domain controllers (RODCs).
For each destination RODC, the source domain controller enforces the Password Replication Policy (PRP) before it performs the operation. If the PRP does not permit replicating the password to an RODC for a specified user, the operation for that user and RODC combination fails.
For examples of how to use this command, see Examples.
