Any ideas about real-time synchronization with AD and Sharepoint?

Hi, It's not safe to synchronize user profiles back to Active directory. SharePoint is impossible to support for this. For synchronizing AD users to SharePoint profiles or users, you can refer to http://sharepointnotes.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/syncing-wss-and-moss-user-profile-properties-with-active-directory/ http://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2009/03/04/sharepoint-profile-cleanup.aspx Hope this helps. Thanks! Stanfford
