SharePoint AD sync

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!
