Hi,
Can someone let me know how to create a sync job between AD and SharePoint list? We have SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on a dev server and we had to do this sync programmatically.
I do know how to pull the user properties of an OU from ADÂ using Directory Services. But I am fairly new to SharePoint and don’t know how to create the same structure of AD like OU, sub OU, group, user properties in SharePoint lists. Is it possible to create a nested structure like this in SharePoint 2013.
Also, is it better to create a timer job or windows scheduler for sync? And what level of permissions in SharePoint will I need in doing this?
Thanks for any help!

Trevor,
You are genius.. thats a great work I should say.
But for me it looks very complex and I think I cannot make anything like that to work.
Awesome indeed! Thanks
I also have a custom timer job that does support pulling in user details to the User Information List (https://github.com/Nauplius/FoundationSync). For a full tree (like ADUC), SharePoint Lists aren’t relational, so I’d suggest something in SQL or Access [Services].
Wow.. this sounds interesting.
I would like to know more details about it if you don’t mind to explain or any reference that would be really helpful.
Thanks Vlad
Hey,
The User profile sync isn’t available in Foundation, you need at least Server Standard to get that feature! Â When I went at clients without a lot of budget that had foundation they did this:
- Create a script that takes data from AD and Dumps it in SQL.
- Show the data in the list using SSRS.Â
I am sure you could also do stuff with remote powershelling into the AD & stuff like that.Â
