Synchronization
The tool syncs up the Active directory every 30 minutes. I retrieves the objects from the specified AD targets (groups / ou / SamAccountName). These objects will be based on the applied import template settings.
If an object is moved from the specified location. If the object does not exist anymore in the AD it will remove the object from our system.
