On your Windows 2008 Server, when running the
Admin Tools > Data Source (ODBC)
This runs the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Sources.
If you create a 64 bit ODBC Data Source, it will not show up in a SimpleSync connection (GUI Source/Dest tab DSN drop down box).
SimpleSync uses the 32 bit version of ODBC. You must create a 32 bit ODBC Data Source.
On the Windows 2008 Server, go to a cmd prompt and run odbcad32.exe.
%systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe
Recreate the desired System DSN here.
Then return to SimpleSync. You should see the DSN is now available...
