SCCM ConfigMgr 2012 Site to Site replication and SQL Replication Guide
New (SQL) site to site replication model is the most challenging but very interesting part (at least for
me) of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. So, I thought of sharing the some points which
are main pillars of SQL replication model.
Key components of new (SQL) replication model
1. DRS – Data Replication Service
2. SSB – SQL Service Broker
3. RCM – Replication Configuration Management/Monitoring
4. RG – Replication Group
5. Replication Pattern

DRS – Data Replication Service / SSB – SQL Service Broker
To replicate the data between configmgr sites, Configuration Manager uses Database Replication
Service (DRS). The DRS intern uses SQL Server Service Broker (SSB) to replicate data between the
sites.
