What is always on Replication?
AlwaysOn Failover Clustering Instances (FCI) It supports multisite clustering across subnets which enables failover of SQL Server instances across data centers, but this requires replication of the data between the shared storage in each of the data centers.
How do I sync my login on always?
Use DBATools to synchronize the logins between the replicas
- Gather information about the primary and secondary replicas in SQL Server Always On Availability Groups using the Get-DbaAgReplica command.

How do I find the SID in SQL Server?
The binary login SID stored in SQL Server can be retrieved from dynamic view management sys. server_principals. Both function output should match the SID retrieved from sys. server_principals.
What happens when there are only two availability replicas?
When the publisher has only two availability replicas (one primary and one secondary) and a failover happens, the original primary replica remains down because the log reader does not move forward until all secondary databases are brought back online or until the failing secondary replicas are removed from the availability group.
How to configure replication with SQL Server always on?

How to synchronize replication with availability groups?
If using the Availability Group Wizard, you can either allow the wizard to initially synchronize the secondary replica databases or you can perform the initialization manually by using backup and restore. Create a DNS listener for the availability group that will be used by the replication agents to connect to the current primary.
Why does Microsoft impose this restriction on synchronous replicas?
In that case, you can add Trace Flag 1448 to your startup parameters, which will disable this behavior for async replicas. If a synchronous replica is offline, it will still prevent the log reader agent from reading unsent transactions for Replication. Why does Microsoft impose this restriction on synchronous replicas?
