SUMMARY

In Microsoft Mail directory synchronization, the Import utility can be used to create a Resync.glb file. This file can then be used to resynchronize the requestor with the dir-sync server (DSS) by replacing the sync numbers and the address lists on the Microsoft Mail Requestor Postoffice with the copy the DSS maintains.

You can use this file with an Exchange Requestor by placing it in the Dxadata directory and stopping and starting the Directory Synchronization service. This will populate the Exchange import containers with the Microsoft Mail addresses and resynchronize the Requestor Sync numbers.

MORE INFORMATION

Resync.glb can be created in the Maildata\glb subdirectory on the Microsoft Mail dir sync server postoffice by carrying out: 

   Import -s admin -p[password] -d[drive]
Resync.glb is typically used to troubleshoot the dir-sync process. It contains both the sync numbers (as the DSS sees them), and the actual addresses stored by the DSS.

NOTE: After creating Resync.glb with the import utility, this file must be removed from the Maildata\glb directory on the DSS. If you do not remove this file, it may cause problems with the Global Address List of the DSS.
