• Modifications, creations, and deletions flow. Specify how you want modifications, creations, and deletions to be propagated between Directory Server and Windows directory sources.

  • From Directory Server to Active directory/Windows NT

  • From Active directory/Windows NT to Directory Server

  • Bidirectionally

    Specify whether to synchronize object activations and inactivations if they are propagated between Directory Server and Windows directory sources, and specify a method for synchronizing these objects.

• Global catalogs. Specify global catalogs (repositories for Active Directory topological and schema information).

• Active Directory schema controller. Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Active Directory schema source to be retrieved from the Windows global catalog.

• Configuration Directory. Specify the Directory Server that stores the Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration.

• Active Directory source. Specify the sources used to synchronize Active Directory domains.

• Windows NT Primary Domain Controller. Specify the Windows NT domains to be synchronized and the name of the Primary Domain Controller for each domain.
