Nabeel,

Not answers to your questions, but a request to you:

For whatever reason, I've struggled to get my win2k3 ADS and FDS to sync 
properly.  Would you be kind enough to share a step-by-step of how you set up 
the sync?  (If others on the list feel that this should be done off-list, 
please let me know).

Thanks.

Dimitri
