**ACS enterprise architecture**

[gabrielbryson]

Is it possible to use a combination of full version ACS appliances configured as primary at a HQ site, with remote branch offices configured as secondary servers that are running on ACS express  appliances?? OR are there limitations on the ACS express appliances that would prevent this type of setup.

Thanks

ACS Express and ACS not-express are totally different products. They cannot be in the same distributed deployment (i.e. replication partners) since they don't support the same stuff and don't work the same way.

This said, you can use Express at the branch office and not-express on central site ... Just don't expect replication :-)

Thanks Nicolas, I suspected as much...
