Fedora directory users - Jul 2008 - Windows to linux migration [PassSync.msi for 64 bit windows2003 ]

HI,

 I am trying to migrate from windows to linux. For that i am integrating
existing windows 2003 R2 64 BIT standard edition running ADS  with Redhat
Directory Server 8.0 runnning on RHEL5  for user/group and password sync.I
followed the step gfeiven in fedora wiki and i sucessfully synced the users
but password sync is not happening.In passync log its telling* "unable to
load password entries from file"

 Since i am using 64 bit windows edition but rhds8.0 is running on 32 bit
edition.May be the passSync.msi comes along with 32bit edition works only
with 32 bit windows or if any 64 bit version of PassSync.msi is
available.Plz help me this is very urgent for me.


Regards

We''ve never tested 64-bit Windows.  I have no idea if it will work.  We
have no plans currently to support 64-bit Windows.

I don''t know for sure, but it seems reasonable to assume that the
32-bit
password sync dll won''t work
on a 64-bit system. It''s a native code DLL, and so unless Microsoft did
something special to support
32-bit password hook DLLs, it won''t work.

In theory, you could re-build it 64-bit and it should work.
