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 AD 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!
Hey,
The User profile sync isn’t available in Foundation, you need at least Server Standard to get that feature! 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.
I am sure you could also do stuff with remote powershelling into the AD & stuff like that.
