If you type repadmin /options then it gives the current status. Eric OK, I guess I was looking a bit too hard. If you type repadmin /options then it gives the current status.

I'm creating a little GUI for my "recovery DC" in my lag site so we can just press a button to turn inbound repl off, and then back on, but I can't find anything. I figured it'd be an attribute somewhere on a site transport or dc in the configuration partition, but can't seem to find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

If DNS is not AD-integrated, then you'll need to stop the DNS zone transfers in order to prevent DNS information from moving from the master to the slave. One trick that may help you in this instance is to mass-create all the DNS records at once using dnscmd.exe. Have a look at http://blog.scottlowe.org/2006/06/30/bulk-adding-entries-in-dns/ for more information. Later, Scott Jason,

I have a situation where I need to add a DNS zone. I don't want users to use this zone until I am finished populating it with all the host records. So essentially, I want to temporarily disable DNS resolution on this server and disable the zone replication until it is completed...... Does disabling Replication also apply to DNS?
