For the first time I’ve met the error ‘Set-CoexistingConfiguration’ with BPOS DirSync. What happend you think?

Well I’ve did all the planning and configuration of the Active Directory at a customer for using Directory Synchronization with BPOS. But the customer had a Parent-Child domain configuration, so this was new for me using DirSync.

I ran the configuration with our normal domain admin account and with the made account above. Both running into the Set-CoexistingConfiguration error. When I use the ADInsight tool supplied by Sysinternals I see the follow data:

ConfigWizard.exe:0212 modify _sa_adsync ..local: 1 mods 2/0 ctrls CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION 1.488ms

You would say there is an error using the DirSync or a configuration problem on the machine. So we’ve checked everything. We could do everything with the account supplied with the setup, but yet we found out that wasn’t enough.

So we used another account that was made at both domains. So the parent-child had the same account. Yet we thought that couldn’t work, but it did some how. I’ve talked with the experts at Microsoft regarding these problems, but even they didn’t know what this error was. So also Microsoft we’ll be checking what this means.
