Directory-Sync Issues

Hello,

I am a new System Admin and I am having some trouble with Directory-Sync. It was suggested to post here. To keep from retyping everything, I used this post:

Basically, the passwords do not sync and an error message displays about a missing publicFolder when a manual sync is initiated. 

I appreciate any assistance and thank you,

Shawn
