About this tag
Active Directory replication is a core process that keeps domain controllers synchronized in a Windows Server environment. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight several Windows Server 2025 issues that can disrupt AD replication, including a confirmed defect from cumulative update KB5065426 that breaks directory synchronization when the Schema Master FSMO role is on a 2025 domain controller. Another reported bug involves duplicate schema entries from the Schema Master, causing replication failures and schema-mismatch errors on older domain controllers. Additional topics cover a restart bug patched via KB5060842 that affected AD resilience, and a firewall profile bug that misapplies network profiles after reboot, leading to service disruptions. These threads provide real-world troubleshooting insights for IT administrators managing AD replication in mixed-version forests.
