Time may come when you want to extend the Schema Master while you are Installing Exchange Server.
And don't want to Replicate until the Installation is successful. You may go for Isolating the Schema master by disabling its ability to replicate changes to other DC's in forest.
This can by done by executing the command :
repadmin /options +DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL
Once the outbound replication is halted you can proceed with extending schema and re-enable once the installation is successful. On other side, if Schema master fails you simply shut down the server, wipe it and seize the schema role on another DC.
Refer to the below Helpful commands as well:
- To disable outbound replication on a domain controller, enter the following:
c:\> repadmin /options +DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL
- To re-enable outbound replication, enter the following:
c:\> repadmin /options DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL
- To disable inbound replication, enter the following:
c:\> repadmin /options +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
- To re-enable inbound replication, enter the following:
c:\> repadmin /options DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
