Export Assistance

I have Galsync up and working between two forests.  One forest is a single 
domain, the other forest consists of several domains.

My goal is to pull all the users from the multi-domain forest into the 
single-domain forest. (which is not a problem).  The problem is exporting 
into the multi-domain forest at which point all domains from the multi-domain 
forest are exported and cause duplicate e-mail addresses.

Bill,

By any chance do you have an MA for all of the domains withing your 
multi-domain forest? If so, I believe that is your problem. There should be 
only one MA for each FOREST, not each domain. In the configure Directory 
Partitions property page, simply select all of the partitions that show up 
there. If there is only one, make sure you go to 'show all' and refresh. 
Also, you will need to select containers for each domain that represent OUs 
that have user objects you want to sync. Finally, you must make run profiles 
for each partition. A single step can only affect one partition at a time. 
Simply go to present profiles and add additional steps for the other 
partitions. I hope this helps!

That was the problem Glen, thank you.
