Thanks for the answer.
I have a few questions that will help my understanding.

1)By initializations you mean to do a full resynchronization or just
send and receive updates?

2)Once I have already done an initial full resynchronization and my
accounts are populated in 389, will initiating another full
resynchronization delete all account information in 389 and pull it
back down, or will it just search for changes? I have attributes that
I have added and dont want to lose those by doing a full
resynchronization. The documentation indicates that it will not
delete, just looking for confirmation.

3)I have already populated 389 via winsync. Can I import these
accounts onto another server and then create a Winsync agreement to AD
and have that agreement search for any changes? I mean will Winsync
leave my accounts intact in the 389 directory? Almost the same
question as the last except I need to move these accounts to a new
server eventually and want to keep all attributes and mods intact on
the new server.

4)All the accounts created by winsync in 389 have the ntUser
objectClass. However according to the documentation they should not
attempt to sync to AD unless they have the ntUserCreateNewAccount
attribute. Is this correct?

Thanks again
