    I tried by administrator and fimservice account,

    but when configuring, It says "could not access to LDAP server".

    Firewal is both off, and I can telnet 389 port to DC, DNS setting is OK.

    DCdiag is OK.

    Is there prerequisite to configure GAL MA ?

    I added fimma fimsyncservice fimservice account to Domain Admins.

    I added fimsyncservice to Recipient Management Role of Exch2010.

    Global Address List Synchronization (GalSync) Resources

    FIMService and FIMSyncService should not be domain admins.

    Also, the user that has to be a part of Recipient Management group in Active Directory is the user configured in the GALSync MA (where the group is inb the target forest - the same user you've entered in the GALSync Management Agent).

    Thank you.

    I could make MA successfully by the following URL you sent me.
