What is Import Computer?

A computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows NT, to which directories and files are imported from a Windows NT–based server that is running the Directory Replicator Service. The import server contains a replica of the directory tree that is received from an export server by the Directory Replicator Service.

You configure an import server using the Replication button in Server Manager, which you access from the Server icon in Control Panel or from the Start menu’s list of administrative tools. To do this, you must specify the following:

• The location to which you want to import the exported directory tree. The default tree is %SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import.
• The domains or computer names from which you want to import the tree.
