I am currently using 3 Windows 8 Pro computers/tablets and am trying to sync my setting (desktop start screen apps) between them. I have connected my domain account to my Microsoft account on each of them and they are all listed under trusted PCs on my account page. Using the windows diagnoistic tool I get the error "Can't connect to the sync service." I've spoken with our firewall admin and he see no traffic over the network when I try to connect to the sync server. I've tried to disable the firewall and I still see errors in the event log for settings sync. If we are not able to sync settings between tablets and PCs at my agency we will not be able to use windows 8 tablets at all. Sorry for the long post but any help would be great.
