Slapcat/slapadd are always faster than sync replication. Why would you lose data from the other server while doing this? contextCSNs should be preserved w/ slapcat/slapadd, so the server being converted will just catch up using sync replication as before. You may wish to look at ITS#7427 though. The fix for that is in current RE24. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Sr. Member of Technical Staff Zimbra, Inc A Division of VMware, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
