Can Password Change Notification Service sync password changes from one domain to another without FIM?

Is it possible to use Password Change Notification Service to sync user passwords from one domain directly to another domain without the use of MIIS/FIM?

I'm following this installation guide.  When looking at the Service Principal Name configuration, it leads me to believe FIM/MIIS is required.  Can this be pointed to a DC in the other directory instead?

Setspn.exe -a <user defined named for target MIIS 2003 server>/<fully qualified domain name of the server running MIIS 2003>\<domain\user name of the MIIS 2003 service account>

No. The PCNS service communicates with FIM Sync to broker the password to the other domain.

Thanks Brian, can it do this for ID's not originally created by or currently managed by FIM?
