Stopping Synchronization at the Primary Installation

Before starting synchronization at the failover installation, stop synchronization at the primary installation to prevent unwanted interaction between the two systems. Depending on the reasons for failing over, this is accomplished in different ways. If the primary installation of Identity Synchronization for Windows is still operating properly, for example, failing over because a domain controller or Directory Server is down, stop synchronization using the console or idsync stopsync. Otherwise, stop the Identity Synchronization for Windows daemon (on Solaris) or service (on Windows) on each system where Identity Synchronization for Windows is still operational.
