XADM: Differences Between the Windows 2000 ADC and Exchange 2000 ADC (260902)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q260902 SUMMARY
The Active Directory Connector (ADC) that comes with Microsoft Windows 2000 replicates only the site naming context information whereas the ADC that comes with Exchange 2000 replicates the site naming context and the configuration naming context information.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are planning to have a mixed site with Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and Exchange
2000 server, use the ADC that comes with Exchange 2000. The ADC
that comes with Windows 2000 cannot replicate the configuration naming context and
therefore, cannot be used.
If you want to synchronize the mailbox objects between Exchange Server 5.5 and
Active Directory, you can install the Windows 2000 ADC and create a
Connection Agreement. You can choose to use the Exchange 2000 ADC in this case because it also replicates the site naming context.
