Active Directory Replication

Active Directory replication failed while syncing the partial attribute set

Syncing the PAS to the GC failed.

Active Directory replication could not update the partial attribute set on a global catalog, which usually points to schema or forest-wide replication consistency problems.

8464configuration

Observed message

Syncing the PAS to the GC failed.

Why it happens

  • A change to the partial attribute set did not replicate cleanly to a global catalog server.
  • Schema or forest-wide replication consistency is broken.
  • A global catalog server is missing required updates needed for the PAS sync.

How to fix it

  1. Check global catalog and schema replication health across the forest.
  2. Review recent schema or partial attribute set changes that may have triggered the failure.
  3. Use replication diagnostics to identify which controller is out of sync before retrying.
