Are you running MSMail? If not, the Directory Synchronisation service doesn't need to be running. Moreover it has nothing to do with your GAL being replicated between sites. That's taken care of by the Directory Service. Have you tried doing a pull on the DR connector in the site that is out-of-date?

We have several location who access information from the Corporate office. My problem is that one of the servers is not getting an updated global address list from Corporate. When I checked the server in the remote location, the Directory Synchronization service has stopped. When I tried to restart it I kept getting error 2140. I checked TechNet and tried the resolution for this error based on the article there and the problem is not resolved. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you for any help.
