I read the following info in the release notes for Exchange 2003 SP1, but
can't find any publiched information on how to complete a full directory
service to metabase replication. Can anybody assist?

"A full directory service to metabase replication is required after
upgrading to Exchange 2003 SP1.
Because of a fix to GNU zip (gzip) compression in Exchange 2003 SP1, a full
directory service to metabase replication is required after you install SP1.
In environments where there are large numbers of recipient policies or HTTP
virtual servers and virtual directories, the directory service to metabase
replication could take a long time; during this time, gzip cannot be used."

Here is some more helpful information out of the Excahnge 2003 technical
reference

Directory Service to Metabase Replication  AKA Db2Mb

DS2MB is a subprocess that is launched when System Attendant is started,
and every 15 minutes thereafter. DS2MB copies all subtrees from Active
Directory without changing the shape of the subtree. This is a one-way
write from Active Directory to the metabase; the metabase never writes
to Active Directory. It does not add or compute any attribute when
copying.
