I’d like to install the ADSync on a Domino 8.0.1 deployment server - getting always:
regsvr32 ndasync.dll
‘Lotus ADSync: Access is denied’
‘RegSvr32: DllRegisterServer in nadsync.dll succeeded’
I have a Windows 2008 Enterprise PDC with basic ‘Remote Administration Tools’ installed and Domino 8.0.1 Server/Admin (running on the same machine). I also checked to run the registration as User being part of the ‘Enterprise Admins’ Group.
Does anybody know how to install the ADSync feature in the MMC?

You may encounter this error if you have multiple child AD Domains and are logged in as a Microsoft Domain Administrator to the child domain instead of to the root Microsoft Domain. Once you log in as a Domain or Enterprise administrator to the root Microsoft Domain, regsvr32 should be able to register nadsync.dll.
There’s also an bug which we’re working on where if we install a 32 bit version of Domino on a Windows 2003 64 bit operating system, the Lotus registry settings are created in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Windows6432Node > Lotus. As a result, the ADSync tool can not be loaded ( can not register server “regsvr32 nadsync.dll” ) in a 64bit Windows machine and so ADSync options do not appear in the MMC.

This is in regards to the error message “access is denied” when attempting to run “regsvr32 C:\Lotus\Notes\nadsync.dll” on a Windows 7 server. I’ll write a formal technote on this, but L3 determined the problem was with a registry settings permission problem.
These steps require modifying the registry of a Windows 7 workstation. Please use caution and make backups of the registry, as incorrect modifications to the registry can render the workstation OS unusable.
Using regedt32, go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns{E355E538-1C2E-11D0-8C37-00C04FD8FE93}
Right click the key, and go to “permissions.” Confirm that the Administrators group has “Full Control” checked.
Expand the key, and right click on NodeTypes. Attempt to give SYSTEM and Administrators “Full Control” if not already enabled.
If that fails, click the “advanced” button and go to the owner tab. Change the owner to Administrators, and click the checkbox “replace owner on subcontainers and objects” then click OK.
Give SYSTEM and Administrators “full control” for the NodeTypes, all subfolders under NodeTypes, and StandAlone.
Once that’s done, re-run “regsvr32 C:\Lotus\Notes\nadsync.dll” to have the DLL registration complete successfully.
As far as i can see, adsync is not supported on 64 bit systems, this is slightly frustrating as we have migrated all our Domain Controllers to 2008R2 which is 64 bit only.
can anyone clarify the situation here, do i really have to install a 32 bit server to maintain AD sync?
Do as Ed explained in his post but do it at ths key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns{E355E538-1C2E-11D0-8C37-00C04FD8FE93}
