verify edgesync synchronization results for a specific recipient using ldp.exe

If you want to verify the EdgeSync synchronization results for a specific recipient, you can use Ldp.exe to view the recipient properties that are stored in ADAM. You must locate the recipient by its Active Directory GUID and, because the data is sent hashed, you must also be able to interpret the information that is returned when you view the recipient details.

To verify the EdgeSync synchronization results for a recipient, follow these steps:
1.Determine the user name of the recipient for which you want to verify EdgeSync synchronization results.
2.Determine the GUID that is associated with the recipient in Active Directory. This GUID is represented as the recipient's canonical name (CN) in ADAM.
3.Determine the Active Directory value of the attributes that you want to verify for that recipient.
4.Use Ldp.exe on the Edge Transport server to retrieve information about that recipient from ADAM.
5.Use the Windows Calculator to translate the retrieved decimal attribute values to hexadecimal and determine the significant byte.
6.Compare the Active Directory attribute values and the ADAM attribute values, and verify that they match.

1.Start Ldp.exe on the Edge Transport server. By default, this tool is located at <System drive>\WINDOWS\ADAM\ldp.exe.
2.Click Connection on the menu bar, and then click Connect
3.In the Connect dialog box, type the name of the Edge Transport server in the Server field. In the Port field, type the ADAM LDAP port. By default, this port number is 50389. Do not select the Connectionless or SSL check boxes. Click OK.
4.Click Connection on the menu bar, and then click Bind.
5.If you are logged on as a local administrator, in the Bind dialog box, select Bind as currently logged on user. To enter administrator credentials, select Bind with credentials, and then enter a user name and password. Click OK.
6.Click View on the menu bar, and then click Tree.
7.In the Tree View dialog box, clear any entry in the BaseDN field. Click OK. You are now connected to the root of the ADAM directory.
8.Click Browse on the menu bar, and then click Search.
9.In the Search dialog box, use the drop-down box for the BaseDN field to select OU=MsExchangeGateway.
10.In the Filter field, enter search criteria that will find the recipient whose CN is equal to the GUID that you obtained from Active Directory. For example, if the GUID starts with 21664853, enter (cn=21664853*). Notice that you do not have to type the complete GUID. You can type the first several characters and then use the * wildcard character to search for all GUIDs that begin with those characters.
11.Select Subtree as the Scope. Click Run. The search results appear in the right pane of Ldp.exe.
12.You can change the list of attributes that are included in the search results. To do this, click Browse on the menu bar, and then click Search. Enter the BaseDN, Filter, and Scope options as instructed in the previous steps. Click Options.
13.In the Attributes field, enter a list of attributes to display. Separate each attribute by using a semicolon. For example, to list the SCL delete threshold and the SCL reject threshold, enter the following text:
MsExchMessageHygieneSCLDeleteThreshold;MsExchMessageHygieneSCLRejectThreshold
14.Click OK, and then click Run in the Search dialog box. The search results appear in the right pane of Ldp.exe. Attributes that have a null value do not appear.
