Hi Brett,
Thanks again for the command and it works well. Few follow-up questions.
Would this command be run only on the DC that I want to disable the inbound
replication or should I also consider on the other two DC's disabling
OUTBOUND to this single DC or is that not an option. Apologize for the
additional questions just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.
Steve

Well you have _two_ completely seperate replication systems to deal with,
and I know nothing about FRS, but for Active Directory replication, this
command will do it:
repadmin /options <DC> +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
To turn back on, change the "+" to a "-". It's listed in /advhelp
screen. You can list a current DC's options like this:
repadmin /options <DC>
Fun (albeit dangerous) tip:
Even thought repadmin.exe doesn't admit it in the help, secretly I made
repadmin /options work with DC_LIST / DSA_LISTS, so you can have the
equivalent of the big red emergency shutoff button for replication for
your forest:
repadmin /options * +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
The /force flag when provided to "repadmin /replicate" WILL override the
disabled flag I showed above. In general everyone should be in the habit
of not providing the /force flag, it's like hitting the OK button as
habit, stay out of the habit, otherwise it'll be too late.
This posting is "AS IS", if you turn off replication in your whole forest,
it's not my problem.
Cheers,

Hi,
I have a single DC I would like to be able to turn on and off replication
and only push changes at certain times. Is there command line utility
to
turn on and off replication or is it as easy as turning FRS service off.
I
can't separate this DC into a separate site to control replication times.
