Windows 2008 Active Directory, missing tool

I have just discovered that my favourite Active Directory troubleshooting tool Replmon.exe has not made it to Windows 2008! (replmon technet link)
Here is a quote from a Technet blog;

"Unfortunately, replmon did not survive the transition to Win2008. It was actually developed by MS support, not the product group (along with many other support tools/resource kit tools), and without an actual owner to service the tool years later, it was a casualty."

The Windows 2003 version of Replmon appears to work okay though. You will need to install the Windows 2003 Support Tools (Suptools.msi)ignoring the Program Compatibility Assistant warning This program has known compatibility issues.

Let's just hope those compatibility issues do not cause instability issues on my server then!....
