The source server is currently rejecting replication requests

I got this error while troubleshooting an environment with two DC’s that were not replicating. This error popped up when I tried to manually replicate in AD sites and services.

I used the repadmin tool to troubleshoot and found that the server had replication turned off.

Repadmin /option *servername* -- this will show you what the current settings are for the DC in question.

Enabling replication resolved the issue, here is the syntax

Use both:

repadmin /options *servername* -disable_inbound_repl

repadmin /options *servername* -disable_outbound_repl
