Hello Rowland, Louis and Min,

sorry for late reply, I was really busy in the past days. As Min already wrote,
I have made the same experience unfortunately. With Rowland's suggested
settings it didn't solve the problem. I'm on another issue at the moment
and didn't find time to check the rsync/unison process on my own, but
I'll promise I'll dive into it as soon as I can. The problem really is
related in the "--delete..." parameter which is exactly doing what the
manual of rsync describes perfectly. I have no idea how to fix it at the moment,
but if you have more clues I'd appreciate your opinion.

Nice weekend,
Mirco.

the culprit is related to the switch "--delete-after" but the most
important thing is that unison seems to be misconfigured. Normally unison should
sync in both directions, but actually is syncing only from dc1-->dc2.

Any thoughts how to fix it? I never worked with unison before :(

The problem is that rsync is one way, what I think happens is that 
rsyncs what is in 'sysvol' on DC1 to DC2 and the
'--delete-after'
removes anything on DC2 that is not on DC1, then unison syncs back to 
DC1 from DC2, but as there is no difference, there is nothing to sync. 
In my tests, removing the option from the sync command, stops the 
difference being deleted from DC2 and then unison sync's the difference 
to DC1.
