The first synchronization from any profile downloads all of the existing data from
Notification Server. This data includes all resources and resource associations
that are specified in download user profiles. The initial synchronization can be
time consuming and may require significant bandwidth. Make sure that you have
a good connection. All subsequent synchronizations only upload or download the
changed data or the new data. This process is known as a delta synchronization.
Profiles affect Synchronization. If you change the profile that you use then you
must complete a full download again.
