Re: Sites and Services NTDS Settings Transport

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.

You only have a choice for transport protocols for intersite replication, you have the choice of SMTP or IP (which uses RPC over IP). Intrasite replication uses IP (aka RPC over IP) and you don't have a choice there.

Thanks for the info - I'm still not sure why MS would give us three
options for the transport setting when two do the same thing. I knew
the transport settings could be RPC over TCP/IP or by SMTP, but when
there were two seperate settings for RPC and IP, it was just a little
confusing. Thanks!
