   The Configure replication group page appears.

3. Click Live Sync.

   The Configure replication group page appears.

4. On the Content tab, enter the information for the source computer:

   1. From the Servers list, select the source computer that you want to replicate.

   2. In the Name box, type a name for the replication group.

   3. From the Subclients list, select the subclients that you want to replicate.

      Note

      If you change the subclient content later, then you must modify the schedule to run for the modified content.
