[I did check the Wiki on this, but didn't find anything very definitive. So I'm asking here.] ? I've used "samba-tool drs showrepl" as a check of replication across the AD structure. (We have three DC's, in this case.)? ? Generally I use that tool on a manual basis to make sure replication is working, say after an upgrade etc. ? However, it would probably be good to check replication daily, perhaps even more often and generate alerts should we see errors. ? Are there other checks that would be good to do too? [I also use "samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs" ]? And any suggestions on how often one might suggest doing them? ? And I'll preemptively ask, do these checks return zero when they have no errors? [If I automate these checks, knowing the proper return values would be good.] ? TIA ? -Greg

You find it here: github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/samba-check-db-repl.sh I did find and fix some bugs in it, but have not shared that code yet. Have a look at the original from Louis, if it is what you are looking for I can share my changes. - Kees.
