Running the command-line synchronization client

You can optionally run the Directory Synchronization Client from the command line. This option performs a synchronization update only.

When you run the client from the command-line, use the -config parameter to specify the name of the configuration profile you want to use.

The command-line version of the Directory Synchronization Client is called dirsyncclientc.exe and is located in the installation folder.

To run the tool:

1. Ensure that the graphical version of the Directory Synchronization Client is not running.
2. Open a command prompt.
3. Change to the installation directory. For example:

   C:\>cd "\Program Files\DirSyncClient"

4. Enter the dirsyncclientc -config command, specifying the name of the configuration profile you want to use. For example:

   C:\Program Files\DirSyncClient>dirsyncclientc –config mycfg
