That is a pretty good book.

The other major thing that Windows 2003 offers is that it will now only
replicate changes to multi-valued attributes and won't replicate the entire
thing (ie: user gets added to a universal group, it will now only replicate
the one user addition and not the entire group membership). This is only
available in a forest that is Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Level.
