Error 800706ba: The Active Directory synchronization agent could not be opened.

  • Article

When running Directory Synchronization under Exchange 2007 with the Transporter Suite for Lotus Notes, you may encounter the following error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ExchangeDominoConnector
Event Category: Domino Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 8322
Description:
Error 800706ba: The Active Directory synchronization agent could not be opened.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ExchangeDominoConnector
Event Category: Domino Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 511
Description:
Error {GRC:1404}: The application failed while processing.

 

 

When attempting to Sync users from Notes to Exchange, we need to generate addresses for contacts/users so that we can create them in Active Directory.

RPC connectivity is required from the Transporter server to the Mailbox server running the Recipient Update Service.

Attempt to open the event logs of the Mailbox Server from the Transporter server. If this fails, there is a firewall in place (hardware or software) that is preventing us from generating those addresses.
