Does there exist any tool that allows me to view which objects in the SAM (users, groups, or computers) are replicated from the PDC to the BDC during domain synchronisation?

you can't view your SAM. That would be a big security leak. All users and groups are synchronized. if its not fast enough for you you can force a synchronisation in service manager.

You cannot actually see what is being sync'd but you can use the addusers utlility in the resource kit to dump your PDC and BDC to text files and then compare them to make sure that they are the same.

This is a good starting point. But comparing 13,000+ users and 13,000+ global groups is a hell of a job.
