Active Directory syncronization

[Ray]

All,
I've implemented a sync with Active Directory, and it's been working fine,
but the client is looking to be able to be able to control the field
mappings. Is there a way to configure which AD fields get mapped to which
resource fields, or is this possibly a customization issue, and if so, can it
be done easily?
Thanks, Ray Wohltman

Hi Ray,

You cannot do this out of the box. You can definately use PDS (or SQL,
depending on the situation) to update additional fields. To speed things
up, there is an AD OLEDB driver, so you can query the same AD groups that
are being synchronized and pull the data.

It will probably take a few weeks to put something good together and you
will definately need to do quite a bit of testing. Be sure you check to see
if the resources are checked out first, because any updates you make will be
erased once they are checked back in again
