Google Cloud Directory Sync java nullpointer exception

in flag

I'm trying to do some testing with Google Cloud Directory Sync and Active Directory, but whatever I do, I always get nullpointer exeptions. As far as I can find GCDS is a Java application. The GCDS installer installs a version of the Java run-time environment in a sub-folder so it shouldn't be a issue that the wrong version of java is installed or something like that?

When I try to open a configfile:

nullpointer1

All my checks are OK:

checksareok

But when I try to simulate a sync, I also get nullpointer exceptions:

I'm obviously missing something here, but I have no clue what... The Active Directory is a Windows 2016 and there are no more logfiles than the ones I already found which I copied above.

It seems to be a version problem. I was using version 4.7.14 (February 8, 2022) and had those problems, but when installing 4.7.2 (downloadable from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pq08SS1wiGllVAUMpKaqfFRQLSkFJfhc) I didn't have those problems anymore...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
