Yes.  But only domain controllers can share accounts
in an ldapsam backend due to the fact that the user's
full SID is stored.


Okay. Not being a windows person too much, I don't know what sharing accounts means. I assume it means replicating accounts across PDC and BDC. Can I not simply use openldap replication to simulate this? Thanks.
