Why are you trying to sync AD 2003 into ApacheDS (or any directory for that matter)? AD can be accessed via LDAP just like ApacheDS (though AD has its own, peculiarities). If you need to integrate an application with AD but need to map attributes, transform data... then there is either MyVirtualDirectory or Penrose. If you really want to synchronize the two you could use Penrose's sync engine or the free version of Sun's Identity Manager. The main issue you will see with syncing is you can't easily sync passwords from AD. Marc
