Default Confusion over what can/can't be synced with Windows Sync

Hello:

I was hoping someone, anyone, would have some ideas on this. Is it just
expected that you'd only want to sync something like
ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com?

Thanks!

According to the Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's guide:

"A single Active Directory subtree is synchronized with a single
Directory Server Subtree, and vice versa. Unlike replication, which
connects databases, synchronization is between suffixes, parts of the
directory tree structure."

So you probably have to to set up one synchronization agreement for
each ou you want to synchronize.
