Why do you want to perform a full sync ? Typically that would only be 
done if
a) the servers had been out of contact for a long time or b) when 
bringing up a new
server or c) if the software is broken.

You can do this. The console initiates sync by writing to an LDAP entry 
in the server's
agreement tree. I'm not sure if this is documented so you might need to 
snoop the traffic
from a manual operation and then write a script to generate the same result.
