Environment

Novell Data Synchronizer Connector for Mobility
Novell Data Synchronizer Connector for GroupWise

Situation

New user has been created, but the first validate will never finish or report failed.

In default.pipeline1.mobility-AppInterface.log in verbose logging you will find the following error:
2011-11-22 08:45:27.509 ERROR_VERBOSE [Thread-10] [backgroundWorkMonitor:748] [userID:cn=user1,ou=xxxx,ou=yyyy,o=company,c=zz] [eventID:] [objectID:] [Monitor] Initial Sync Error: Problem getting default address book id

Resolution

Run a GWCheck Content against this user and check for duplicate folders. If there are duplicate folders, run a GWCheck Content with the option "DelDupFolders" until there are no more duplicate folders reported. After this has been done, re-synchronize the user.
