CRS with /dirsonly Flag Works Differently in Site Server 3.0

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Content Deployment included with:

    - Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SUMMARY

In Content Replication System (CRS) version 1.x or 2.x it is possible to replicate directories (without files) and the associated ACLs on those directories by simply setting the /dirsonly flag when you create or modify the project. This is a mistake and has been corrected in Site Server version 3.0 Content Deployment.

In Site Server 3.0 Content Deployment, the ACLs are not replicated unless the /acls flag is used in conjunction with the /dirsonly flag.
