Site-to-Site Communications

Sites in a ConfigMgr hierarchy must share configuration information, client data such as inventory and discovery data, status information, and so on. ConfigMgr 2012 uses two mechanisms to replicate data between sites: SQL Server replication and file-based replication. This differs from ConfigMgr 2007, which used file-based replication only. This section describes the data sites exchange through each type of replication and presents some tuning considerations for file-based replication. Chapter 3 provides an in-depth look at the inner workings of both file-based replication and SQL Server replication.
