Upgrading LMRepl to FRS

  • Article

Microsoft® Windows NT® Server version 4.0 and earlier provided a single-master file replication facility known as LAN Manager Replication (LMRepl). LMRepl was often used to replicate logon scripts and other database information to all domain controllers in the domain. FRS replaces LMRepl in Windows 2000 Server.

Windows 2000 Server does not support LMRepl in mixed or native mode, so if you have been using LMRepl, you need to develop a strategy for using FRS to provide the same functionality. If you used LMRepl to replicate logon scripts, you need to transition to using SYSVOL If you used LMRepl for other purposes, investigate using Dfs for replication.
