Detailed Description
The Start-SPProfileServiceFullReplication cmdlet replicates all selected user profile information and social data—including social tags, notes, and ratings—from the source User Profile Service application to the destination User Profile service application. Replication begins at the start index and can be stopped by pressing CTRL+C.
 Note: |
|---|
| It may take several seconds for all threads to stop once you have pressed CTRL+C. |
If full replication is interrupted, check the log file for the last successful entry and restart using the StartAtIndex parameter.
