      @Bar_Z thank you so much for the feedback / comments.I do not know if the Sync Service will ever go to an opensource product.That stated, there are several tools out there to do all sorts of things with the Sync Engine. You found one of them that we recommend a lot and this the lithnet. We also offer the WMI Namespace provider that you can do a lot with as well. I hope this information helps.Tim
