Synchronization
The tool syncs up with 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.
Attributes
The table below shows the attributes that are synchronized to the Active Directory or SoftApp distribution. The attributes with a * are required and can not be used for syncing through Import Templates.

Synchronization options
It is possible to synchronize users and groups based on the following search parameters:
Groups:

OrganizationalUnit location
Users:
Security Group / Distribution Group members
OrganizationalUnit location
OrganizationalUnits can be searched on base level, one-sub dir and recursive. This is specified as the target depth

Of the non-required attributes of the AD user object can be decided to:
