XADM: Replication Will Not Propagate Conflicting Changes

ID: Q147226

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SUMMARY

The process of directory replication associated with Microsoft Exchange will not merge and replicate changes to Exchange Server objects made by multiple administrators. Replication conflicts will be logged, but only one change will be propagated throughout the organization.

MORE INFORMATION

Replication ensures consistent information across all Exchange Servers. If an administrator modifies an object and another modifies or deletes the same object, only one change will be replicated. The result will match the expectation of one administrator and not the other.

Microsoft recommends communication and agreement between all administrators before changes are applied to Exchange Server objects.
