Title: RE: Site Link Bridging The primary reason I have disabled site link bridging in the past has been to prevent domain controllers in spokes with replicating with other dc's in spoke sites that are in another hub site when they should only be replicating with DC's in the hub sites and

I have used it between a Windows 2000 Forest and a Windows 2003 Forest to Sync the GAL between the two. The only odd requirement I recall was that the req's said it had to run on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition server and I ended up installing on a Windows 2003 Ent Edition member serv

I believe this issue really depended on the permissions on the mailbox and the synchronization of the security attributes. I can't recall but I believe it did behave a bit different in Exchange 2000.   I use NOMAS.exe to fix and sync the permissions when I enable/disable accounts. All m
