I am guessing it may be how our LDAP server schema is setup as we use something like: > > dc=domain,dc=com > |_ o=Internal > |___o=a0000 > |____ou=Desktops > |_____uid=fred > > We have set the Windows subtree to be dc=domain,dc=com and the replication subtree to be dc=domain,dc=com with a DS subtree of o=Internal,dc=domain,dc=com. > > Our understanding was that within AD Users & Groups GUI we should have seen a similar schema created. > > Though for some reason the replication is traversing the whole of the internal AD tree.

Usually AD trees have a CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com where all of the user entries live, and winsync is designed to work with that sort of structure.
