[Fedora-directory-users] 'Account Disabled' Windows Sync - only sync passwords

[lambam80 at hotmail.com]

Rich, hello again and thanks for all your help.
 
This Email related to password VS account synchronization.
 
We'll use my script to create/delete accounts thereby having an identical user base in
both RedHat LDAP and Windows.
 
Therefore, we'd like to use only the 'password' mechanism of 'Windows SYNC'.
 
I can see, clearly on the RedHat LDAP server how to disable account/group SYNC on the windows side:
 
- Launch console | Directory Server Configuration TAB | click on replication agreement | uncheck both 
New Windows Users Sync and
New Windows Groups Sync
 
And from the document I can read how to disable account/group SYNC on the LDAP side:
 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Windows_Sync-Using_Windows_Sync.html#Using_Windows_Sync-Synchronizing_Users
 
< Setting ntUserCreateNewAccount and ntUserDeleteNewAccount on Directory Server entries 
< allows the Directory Manager fine-grained control over which users within the 
< synchronized subtree will be synched on Active Directory
 
Is that all I need to do to disable account/group sync but retain password sync ?
 
Thanks again for your help, Dave
