Enable automatic synchronization

Enable the Directory Services Connector task to run automatically based on the schedule you set previously.

Before you begin

Be sure to configure the Directory Services Connector task first.
Note If you move user accounts in Active Directory from one AD domain to another, immediately perform a manual synchronization on the AD domain to which you moved the users. Synchronizing the new AD domain of the users prior to a synchronization of their old AD domain prevents a temporary deactivation of those users in the Control Console.

For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
