upstream / downstream synchronization problems Tony 6/19/2007 6:29:04 PM I can't get my downstream server to synchronize with my upstream server. I get the follwoing error msg: The upstream server does not allow an anonymous downstream server to synchronize. This particular server has not been registered on this upstream server, or the upstream server Web service needs authentication. WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. Any ideas?
