2. If  another (non-AD) system selected as password sync target, the password sync goes through with no errors. However, user cannot log on with the new password.
3. Passwords appear to be synchronized as empty values causing password sync to fail if 0 length passwords are not allowed in the destination system.  The following errors may be presented: 

             Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072035

             An error has occurred while connector was processing sync request. Details: INVALID_NEW_PASSWORD: password length must be                greater than 0
