How to Provision a lot of databases on different devices

Question

Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 I have one master Database and over 100 devices that will by syncing with the master database. All databases have existing data on them which is that same data as the master database. How can I provision one database and restore it on all the other devices and Sync Framework still detecting the changes once users make updates to the records(going in production)? When I restore a provisioned database, Sync Framework does not see any record change as a change. Also, is Sync Framework supported with SQL Server 2005 and express?

Answer 1

since your client database is SQL Express, provision one database, sync with server, do a backup, restore on client, call performpostrestorefixup one time before synching, then sync as usual.
