User Profile Replication Engine Released

Microsoft has released a "User Profile Replication Engine" which can synchronize user profile information between Shared Service Providers on different farms within an enterprise.The Engine must run with pretty serious privileges on both the source SSP and the destination SSP(s), which means some negotiation about accounts and privileges between (e.g central IT services and a department which has its own SharePoint farm.

However, we finally have an approach to avoid multiple profiles for one user between central farms and departmental farms.

The User Profile Replication Engine is part of the SharePoint Administrators Toolkit version 2.0:
