New subject: [Fedora-directory-users] Windows Sync

25 Jul 2007


      O.K., so now I can search the NT4 LDAP service using ldapsearch from a Linux 
machine, but I still can't get that confounded sync agreement to 
work.  I have read the Windows Sync manual several times, and it implies 
heavily that you should be able to create a Windows Sync agreement with NT4.  
But no matter what I try, I get "unable to contact Active Directory server" 
after filling out the sync agreement form.
Just for kicks, I decided to try creating a "Replication Agreement" as 
opposed to a "Windows Sync" agreement.  Oddly enough, I can carry this 
through to completion, with the Fedora server as supplier and the NT server 
as consumer (this is what we need anyway).  But immediately after completing 
the agreement, the replica fails to initialize.
All suggestions warmly accepted.  Thanks.   -Glenn.
