Returns the contents of the replication queue for a specified server.
Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation [-Server] <String> [[-Partition] <String[]>] [-AuthType <ADAuthType>] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Filter
<String>] [<CommonParameters>]
The Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation cmdlet returns all of the pending operations in the replication queue. While replication operations are
pending, this cmdlet can be useful for determining the status of queued operations.
The Get-ADReplicationQueueOperation cmdlet can be called from script to watch and observe when operations get moved out of the queue as they
are replicated. It also allows for filtering on any of the properties on the ADReplicationOperation object.
The replication queue operates in the following manner: suppose a domain controller has five inbound replication connections. As the domain
controller formulates change requests, either by a schedule being reached or from a notification, it adds a work item for each request to the
end of the queue of pending synchronization requests. Each pending synchronization request represents one <source domain controller, directory
partition> pair, such as "synchronize the schema directory partition from DC1," or "delete the ApplicationX directory partition."
When a work item has been received into the queue, notification and polling intervals do not apply. Instead, the domain controller processes
the item (begins synchronizing from its source) as soon as the work item reaches the front of the replication queue. This process continues
until either the destination is fully synchronized with the source domain controller, an error occurs, or the synchronization is pre-empted by
a higher-priority operation.
