if you are implementing the major changes to active directory like extending the schema version. it is recommended that you should disable the outbound replication on schema master domain controller. After disabling the replicating, do the changes and test the changes if you find that changes you have made are unacceptable, you can just rollback the changes from schema master domain controllers rather than being faced with the prospect of performing a disaster recovery operation on your entire domain.

It is very important and recommended to disabling outbound replication on a domain controller will not have any effect on inbound replication; the DC will still receive updates from its other replication partners unless you disable inbound replication on them as well.

To stop outbound replication for a specific DC, Use this command

```
            c:\> repadmin /options * +DISABLE_INBOUND_REP
