Nic, we have implemented Simple Sync, for roughly about 12 connectors and are pleased with the tool. It is syncing roughly 3 LDAP entries between exchange 5.5, 2000 and 2003 organizations with the exchange 5.5 organization being the root forest. In my mind, it would depend on your needs,

Please perform an offline defrag of the database, and see if that does it for you. If there is corruption in say a secondary index, the offline defrag will rebuild the indexes and clear it up for you. If you still get the 1084 we need to look in to this further. ~Eric -Original

I think Murray brings up some good points. What are your requirements exactly? To differentiate between the products (or others) you'll need to understand what the ultimate goal is and what you have to work with. For example, is this a RACF sync? Or LDAP or ?? What exactly needs to sync?
