Active Directory-ADManager Plus data synchronization
Objects in Active Directory (AD) have to be synced and updated to ADManager Plus as frequently as possible for an unobstructed AD management and reporting experience. ADManager Plus triggers different types of sync at different time intervals, including incremental and full data sync to ensure the data in AD matches with the data in its database. The sync type, time interval, and all the other details can be found in the table below.
