This could be useful if you maintain more than one DC. It's a new tool to graphically check the replication status. It requires .NET 4.0.

It basically does the same job as "repadmin /replsum", but has a few usefull bells & whistles. When a DC is not replicating, it compares the downtime to the Tombstone Lifetime and warns you if you get too close. You can choose which DC's to check, which is useful in large environments. And finally, it can generate a (basic) report and export its data.

Thanks Willem, very neat tool. At least for the likes of me who never understood /replsum output correctly :)
