BITSAdmin is a command-line tool that you can use to create download or upload jobs and monitor their progress.


repadmin.exe on 2008/2008 R2, or to use replmon.exe from a Windows Server 2003 server.

You can find the command reference for repadmin.exe in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 here.A few examples:
repadmin.exe /showrepl shows the replication-status for the domain controller the tool are being run from.
repadmin.exe /showrepl servername shows the replication-status for the domain controller with the provided servername,
repadmin.exe /queue shows the replication-queue for the domain controller the tool are being run from.
repadmin.exe /queue servername shows the replication-queue for the domain controller with the provided servername,
repadmin.exe /replsummary shows a brief summary of the replication status.
I also checked if there are any PowerShell cmdlets for checking replication status in Windows Server 2008 R2, but its not. Hopefully this will be implemented some time in the future.
PS: I did test installing the Windows Server 2003 Support tools on a Windows Server 2008 domain controller in a lab environment, and it does work.
