Just like Neil said... LVR (linked value replication) is only available in
FFL w2k3 interim (NT4 and w2k3 DCs only) and w2k3 (w2k3 DCs only)

As my (precise) response stated, you need to:
1. Upgrade all DCs in the forest
2. Raise domain level for all domains in the forest
3. Raise the forest func level to w2k3
Only then will multi valued attributes be replicated in the way your
describe.

Thanks for your quick and precise answer.
I have read different articles about the replication enhancements of
going to "Windows 2003 Server" level.
But the articles do not agree about the need to upgrade domain level or
forest level.
Do you know if I can just upgrade the domain level (and wait with forest
level) and get this to work?

In w2k native mode, the members of a group are stored as one blob and
replicated in their entirety when changes are made. This is by design
but far
from desirable!
Once *all* Dcs in the forest are at w2k3, you may raise the func level
of
all domains to w2k3 domain func level and then the forest itself to
w2k3
forest func level. Only then, (when forest func level raised) will
those
attributes which can be multi valued (such as group members) be stored
as
separate entities and be replicated as true deltas in the way you
require.
i.e. the scenario you describe below will result in the memberships
being
merged and not over written.

Hi
I have a question regarding what functional level I should use to get
the
following functionality to work (if possible).
Problem:
I have 2 domain controllers (Windows 2003 Server) - each placed in
different
sites and called (DC1, DC2) and both has domain functional level
"Windows
2000 Native".
1. On DC1 create universal distribution group (same problem with
security
groups)
2. Use repadmin /replicate to replicate the group to DC2.
3. On DC1 add a user to the group.
4. On DC2 add a user to the group.
Consequence: The user added on DC1 is overwritten by the user added
on DC2.
What I hoped would happen: The group entries are merged, so both
users are
member of the group.
I thought that the groups would be merged because of the 'per entry'
replication in Windows 2003, but is this only working if the domain
functional level is raised to "Windows 2003 Server" level? Or should
it also
work in "Windows 2000 Native" mode?
Or it my problem another place? :-)
