Explanation (?):

The file replication service is used in maintaining syncronized directories on multiple servers in a domain. It does this simultaneously and replicates the system volume SYSVOL to all properly authenticated domain controllers. This service can also work in conjunction with the distributed file system (DFS) allowing files to be replicated to configured targets. If you do not wish to use this feature on your server it is best to uninstall it through the add/remove components dialog rather than disabling it. This service also greatly differs between NT4 and 2000+.

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
