Summary
This workflow is not supported for Geometric Network data because projected Geometric Networks cannot be edited.
Procedure
- Add the data to replicate to ArcMap. Ensure that there is a connection to the version to be replicated.
- Use the Extract Data Wizard with the 'Schema only' option to create the schema on the target geodatabase (the child replica geodatabase). The advanced options of this wizard allow an output spatial reference to be specified. Specify the desired output spatial reference.
-show me- - If desired, specify the datum transformation to have applied to the data in the Data Frame Properties in ArcMap. This step is not required, but can be used to perform a geographic (datum) transformation when the data is extracted to the child in Step 4.

It is a good idea to specify the datum transformation to have applied to the data if, for example, the origin and destination coordinate systems are based on different datums. The data extraction process in Step 4 automatically applies any transformations set. Unless specified, this transformation is not automatically applied because many or no possibilities may exist.
- Once this step has completed, use the Extract Data Wizard again. This time extract 'Data' with the 'ReUse Schema' option. This extracts the data from the Source and copies it into the target using the Spatial Reference defined in Step 2.
-show me- Data extraction preserves Global ID values. Replication uses Global IDs to identify the same feature/record across databases, so the values must be consistent across the geodatabases. Make sure that the data on the child geodatabase has no records before performing this step. This will be the case, if Step 2 has been performed.
- Use the CreateReplica Wizard (located on the Distributed Geodatabase toolbar) to create replicas using the 'Register Existing Data Only' option.

I want to know if this can be done using geoprocessing tools so you don't have to use ArcMap to do it.

I would like to see a new article that discusses the topic outlined below.
Article: http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShow&d=34129 Using 9.3.1, could the user skip Step 4 and create the replica by reusing the schema? Why is it necessary to (a) Extract Schema, (b) Extract Data, (c) Create Replica? Would (a) Extract Schema, (b) Create Replica give the same results?

The article needs to be updated.
