replication priority boost is set by rootDSE modify.  Like other rootDSE modifications, it is invoked by a normal LDAP modify request with its baseDN to be NULL.  You can use any client tool that can construct a LDAP modify request, set the baseDN field to be NULL, attribute field to be "setpriortyBoost" and value field to be <naming context>:<partnerdc>:<boost factor>, to invoke the replication priority boost rootDSE modify.

replication priority boost value can be queried by rootDSE attribute.  Like other rootDSE attributes, it is a normal LDAP search request with its baseDN to be NULL.  Construct a LDAP search request with NULL baseDN, and in attributes field, put the value of "msds-priorutyBoost:<naming context>:<partner DC>", it will return the current replication priority boost set on the naming context of the partner DC specified in the parameters.
