Rich , do you think this is problem due to password policy ?? - but if we disable password policy on FDS . It must copied data right ??? or it will failed .. ?? what do you say ... Yes - we are getting error relatd to CA related .... [ it does not say anything about password policy related .... ] Can we do initial winsync replication without same password policy @ ADC and @ FDS ?? - i guess it should - reason it is simple replication. what is your view ??? As per document if password policy does not same @ FDS AND @ ADC , then if any password changed on ADC it wont replicated to FDS right .... ? -- Regards Vipul Ramani
