Re: Replication protocol (IP or SMTP)

I would say that is pretty standard for MOC... Wrong.

Thanks for putting the effort to explain this issue, eventhough is not brought up by me :p

I just get the excerpt from the MOC 2279 - Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining W2003 Active Directory Infrastructure, the statement is as follows:

"SMTP supports replication of the schema, configuration, and GC between sites and between domains. You cannot use this protocol for replication of the domain partition, because some domain operations - FOR EXAMPLE, GROUP POLICY - REQUIRE THE SUPPORT OF THE FILE REPLICATION SERVICE (FRS), WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT AN ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSPORT FOR REPLICATION."

What is your interpretation of this paragraph from MS? (Just want to be sure it is what is stated).

Thanks.
