LDAP_REFERRAL (10) errors may occur on Discovery or Sync phase.

This error generally indicates that while we can 'see' the domain/structure in question, the attempt to read/write to the structure resulted was unsuccessful.

For example, this may occur when trying to Discovery/read a DC that allows us to 'see' trusted domains.  We can 'see' the trusted domains, but the actual attempt to query the trusted domain on Discovery results in a Referral error (Discovery is unable to follow the Referral to read a trusted domain, we can only read the real domain or child domains of the Forest, if pointing to the Global Catalog.  In this case, Excludes or Selection DN should be used to avoid querying the trusted domains.

On Sync/write, this error is a little more tricky, it may indicate an unexpected change to destination structure (Struct Name/Placement DN) and the next sync run may be trying to Modify/move objects from the old structure that we no longer have access too.
