Fedora directory users - Jan 2009 - Windows Sync Not working with AD password = P@ssw0rd ?

Hello everybody and thanks for the tremendous support to date.
 
Firstly, yes I''m a paranoid personality ...
 
It''s too late for me to try recreating this problem using my existing
machines.
 
Is it possible that accounts created on RHDS are not
''replicated'' to Active-Directoryif the AD Administrator
password is ''P@ssw0rd'' ? Please note, shame on me,
I''m performing my replication using the AD Administrator account.
 
If you''ve not yet died laughing, at my expense :-) , any help would be
greatly appreciated.

So, if you use a windows sync user password of ''P@ssw0rd'',
windows sync
doesn''t work?  But if you use a password that does not contain the @ 
character, it does work?   Have you tried using ldapsearch from the 
command line to test your username and password?  e.g. something like
ldapsearch -x -h adhostname -D 
"cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com" -w
''P@ssw0rd'' -s base -b ""

Try turning on error log level 8192 and attempt windows sync again -

Rich, as ever, thanks for your help with what must seem a silly problem.
 
I sent the Email simply to ensure there is a record of this potential problem
in case someone else stumbles upon it :-)
 
We can drop it for now - if I find the time, I''ll create a new virtual
Active-Directory machine and re-test specifically
with the recommended log level. If I can re-create the problem, I''ll
log a BUG of course.
 
ldapsearch with an ''@'' worked fine at the time.
 
 -D "Administrateur" -w p@ssw0rd -h sh...
 
Note: Administrateur -  I ought to have told you the Windows 2003 Server (Active
Directory) is using a French locale
(worth noting - might be important):
 
Windows Server 2003 R2
Version 5.2 R2 (numéro 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack
 
The current password (without ''@'' - yeah, that''s my
theory also) works fine - it has
a capital letter and two ''9''s.
 
Thanks again for your help.
