Driver: \IDVAULT\DirXML\Bsure\VaultEdir

Object: \MIHOUSE\ADM\bvd (IDVAULT\ADM\bvd)
Status: Retry
Message: Code(-9011) eDirectory returned an error indicating that the operation should be retried later: novell.jclient.JCException: modifyEntry -659 ERR_TIME_NOT_SYNCHRONIZED
Resolution
Found that time was reporting as synchronized in the vault and
eDirectory trees. However, the console prompt was
receiving synthetic time errors. Looked at the
partition root object, and the modification timestamp was dated 4
months in the future.
After making the server running the drivers the master replica
server, and repairing timestamps and delcaring a new epoch,
Identity Manager started synchronizing objects.
