How do I enable Live synchronisation with Active Directory
- PRODUCT NOTE Hosted mailboxes may have undesirable and unpredictable effects on a domain with Active Directory synchronisation enabled. It is not recommended or supported to use these features together.
MailWall is capable of synchronising in real time with email addresses existing within an Active Directory installation.
This feature works as follows:
- when a new email address is created within the Active Directory installation, it will appear within MailWall attached to the default user
- when an email addresses is deleted within the Active Directory installation, it will also be deleted within MailWall
- The synchronisation takes place on a hourly basis
Prior to enabling live synchronisation between Active Directory and MailWall, an initial base of Active Directory users will need to be imported via the Upload From Active Directory feature.
