If replication works the same in ADAM as it does in AD (and I do believe that's the case), then changes must be committed before they're replicated. Either the entire write completes or it is uncommitted thereby saving you from corruption. :m:dsm:cci:mvp marcusoh.blogspot.com -Original Messag

If you need to distinguish between true distribution groups and mail-enabled security groups you would be better querying the group type attribute. If you add this to the query you will only get back security-enabled groups, regardless of mail status. (groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2147483648)
