I would agree that the USN properties would be more appropriate, however,
the programmer has not be able to get to those values via ADSI.

Also, this is a read only type of process. We've had problems in the past,
reported by users, where an account on one side of the organization never
gets updated on the other side of the org, which may be two or three DR hops
away.

It may make more sense to check the USN values for synch verification.  

We never tried a project like this but it sounds very very scary to have
someone tinkering with the raw properties of Exchange programmatically.

Good morning to you all:

        I have a person in my group that is trying to program a process that
will run outside of Exchange and access the raw properties of the Exchange
directory to ensure that objects in Site A are in sync with the objects in
Site B.

        Current thinking is that he will access the "WHEN CHANGED" property
of each object to ensure that the numbers are the same on each side of the
comparison.

        Has anyone ever tried a project like this? Any comments,
suggestions?
