Directory structure - Replication

The Directory Replicator service's default Export folder is %SystemRoot%\System32\ Repl\Export. The
default Import folder is%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import. The Directory Replicator service will re-
create the Export folder's directory structure in the target Import directory unless you specify that the service omit
certain subdirectories or files. You can configure the Directory Replicator service to synchronize file copies
immediately after changes occur or wait for two minutes after changes.

Please Note The default login script folder for domain controllers is %SystemRoot%\ System32\
Rep\Import\Scripts. Therefore, you'll want to keep the master copies of your logon scripts in the PDC's
Export folder and replicate them in Import directories on the domain's BDCs. Then, you'll need to export the
scripts from one of the BDC's Import folders to the PDC's Import folder. Doing so will make the login scripts
available to clients authenticating with the PDC.
