Synchronizing domain controllers

If you want to force synchronization of your domain controllers instead of waiting for an automatic replication event, type net accounts / sync from the command line of your primary domain controller. You can also use Server Manager to force synchronization. Start Server Manager, choose the primary domain controller, and select Synchronize Entire Domain from the File menu. You will see a message informing you that the process may take awhile; click OK.
