UnicodePwd has to be little-endian unicode and with quotes around it. You can do something like... echo \"Secret12\" > pass.txt iconv -t UNICODELITTLE -o unicodepass.txt pass.txt And then base64 encode unicodepass.txt and use the result for unicodePwd value. I got the details from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=269190 originally. Ulf Jeff Gamsby wrote: > Correct. It was not enabled when I first installed and configured > PassSync.
