The best thing to do when setting up Windows Sync is to go one step at a 
time.  First get your user & group sync working.  It will work just fine 
without setting up the PassSync service.  Do you have this part working 
already?

If PassSync is having trouble binding to FDS, you should start 
troubleshooting by looking at the FDS access logs when PassSync attempts 
to connect.  It sounds like the bind DN may be incorrect.
