Active Directory Domain Synchronization page

Use this page to edit, run, and enable Directory Services Connector synchronizations for each of your Active Directory domains. By default, a synchronization is automatically created for each of your AD domains when you register the Directory Services Connector server. You can also view, review, delete, or disable synchronizations as needed.
