ADQueueLoop freeware is a command line tool to watch the Active Directory Replication Queue.

Any option that you specify that has spaces or special characters such as &,|,<,>, etc need to be placed within quotes. All options/switches can be specified with either a / or a -. Type adqueueloop /? for usage.

Switch/option	Purpose	Example
-delay	How long to sleep between queries in ms. About the fastest you can go is 10ms, I generally don't recommend going much below 100ms.	-delay 500
-top	Output the currently running item on the queue	-top
-force	Show queue info even if nothing has changed	-force
-showtime	Show the time stamp of the last API call for queue info	-showtime
-skipcon	Don't display as much on the console	-skipcon
-file xx	Write info to file xx	-file replinfo.txt
-csv	Write into to file in CSV format	-csv

  

Monitor AD Replication Queue as fast as possible and display top queue item when there are queue items.
