No the two tools are different. They should both report the same info as far as replication status goes. If two servers pull from the same server the same partition, the USN should be the same. What I am interested in is when the last replication happened and whether it was successful.
Try running the following command to check repl status across the estate. repadmin /replsum /bysrc /bydest /sort:delta This should show you the repl status in your domain. depending on the account you are logged in with it may show the relevant domains DC replication status.
