On Application Servers running Windows Server 2008, all IMPAX user information is stored in the AD LDS database. To ensure that there is always an AD LDS instance available to authenticate users on the Clients, create a replica of the AD LDS database on a second Windows 2008 Application Server. After configuring the AD LDS replica, the AD LDS database is replicated every 15 seconds between the two AD LDS instances.
 | Note: To perform the replication, you can use either a Windows domain Administrator account, or, if the domain Administrator account is not available, you can add an account with limited privileges to the Administrator group. For instructions on how to add an account with limited privileges to the Administrator group, see Adding a user account to the Administrator group. |
