Password not syncing

I have a domain pair with password sync enabled, however passwords are not syncing from source to target if the password on the target is changed. I have a case where I want to temporarily reset the password on the target user, do a thing, then have the Quest directory sync job change it back next sync cycle.

This does not appear to be happening though, what is the expected behaviour here?  should I expect quest to re-sync the password if the PwdLastSet attribute on the target is newer

Thanks

  • Thanks, I thought there might be something different becuase when you stop and start the sync agent it says it's doing a delta sync in the console.

    Re the need to reset the password, there are a number of post migration steps that need to be done for each user for Outlook, regenerating a new WiFi certificate etc, we are doing these migrations remotely so just trying to complete the migrations for the users as it's too hard for them to have to log back into their apps themsleves..  
    I'm trying to get Quest to re-sync the old password so they don't have to reset it again after

  • As I said, the easiest way to deliver the functionality is to deploy another Directory Sync Agent on a separate server. This server would have the setting to allow the pwdlastset flag to be ignored and the password would be over written. This way you dont have to mess with the directory sync process at all.
