Transaction replication identity propery question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi all,

What are some of the pros and cons of NOT transferring the identity column
to the subscriber when using transactional replication?

I am wondering if it is worth the trouble to fix this issue?

Also, if I change can the identity column to "Yes (not for replication)"
will this solve the problem?

Thank you.
