Hi,
I understood that the implementation of offline clients (doesn't matter if it's PDA with SQL CE/Mobile or windows XP with MSDE/Express) and Merge replication in the SQL Server is good in theory but difficult to manage and requires a lot of extra handling issues like opening ports and adding users granted to run the processes for the replication process.
Is it true? Are there any improvements in 2005 in these issues (I know about the option to replicate through iis so the port problem is now solved?!).
I'll be glad if anybody knows and can write about products in the open market which used this architecture.

Thanks,
Gil.
