Does the Directory Synchronization Agent (DSA) synchronize changes at the attribute level, or object level? (4275691)

When performing a one-way delta sync, does the DSA synchronize changes in individual attributes, or does it always synchronize entire objects? For example, if you modify the description attribute in the source, will it only copy that attribute to the target, or will all of that object's attributes be copied (potentially overwriting changes in the target)?

The DSA will only synchronize the attributes that have been changed. In the above example, only the description would get copied to the target - all other target attributes will remain unchanged.
