Synchronizing Users

When synchronizing your CA DataMinder user hierarchy with your principal user directory, we recommend that you run a single import operation to synchronize all of your users in one go.

Do not run several smaller operations, each synchronizing a specific set of users. With this approach, there is a risk that a partial synchronization may inadvertently move unknown users (that is, users not present in the specified source LDAP directory) to an ‘exceptions’ group.

If a single operation is not practical, you can run a separate operation for each network domain. For example, if your users are spread across multiple domains, you may prefer to run a separate Account Import operation for each domain. The ‘Synchronize users from this domain’ option ensures that only users in the specified domain can be reorganized within the CA DataMinder user hierarchy.
