Create Anonymous Subscription (Browse the Active Directory)

An anonymous subscription is a type of pull subscription for which detailed information about the subscription and the Subscriber is not stored. Initiated at the Subscriber, the Subscriber is responsible for keeping an anonymous subscription synchronized. Using Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Active Directory™ Services, you can view replication objects, such as a publication, and, if allowed, subscribe to that publication.
