Synchronization of Identity Data
A common requirement for companies with an established on-premises Active Directory environment, is to have the existing on-premises users and groups linked in some way to a hosted or Cloud Active Directory. Likewise it's essential for large organizations providing Hosted Exchange and housing Active Directory infrastructures, to keep their internal and external Active Directories linked. HC Active Directory Synchronization tool is the smartest answer to all your sync needs.
DownloadWhat is AD Connect Sync?
AD Connect Sync synchronizes two Active Directories. It provides one-way synchronization between your on-premises Active Directory and your hosted Exchange AD. Changes to the on-premises AD are intercepted and replicated to the related user on the hosted environment. With AD Connect Sync you can easily synchronize.
01 Users
Detect changes to user passwords and attributes on your customer's site and push them to your hosted/Cloud Active Directory.
02 Groups
Replicate Distribution and Security groups to your hosted or Cloud environment. Sync newly created groups between external and internal ADs.
03 Contacts
Maintain consistency between your contacts. Keep provisioning, deletion and change requests properly synchronized between Active Directories.
Useful Active Directory Connector
No need to manage users in two places when it can be done in one.
Synchronize Passwords
Keep your Active Directory passwords synchronized across your internal and external Active Directories. Make it easier for administrators to replicate and track password changes across Active Directories.
Synchronize Identities
Perform one-way synchronization of identity data (users, groups) between an on-premises Active Directory and your hosted Active Directory. Manage account changes across multiple systems.
Synchronize Groups
Reflect group changes made in an on-premises Active Directory to the hosted environment in real-time. Provide a complete and efficient identity management solution to your business.
Easy Monitoring
It is important that you maintain a healthy synchronization between your local and Cloud Active Directories. Quickly spotting and diagnosing anomalies is the key to success. AD Connect Sync is accompanied by a robust monitoring tool, which not only identifies any bottle necks in the whole process but also makes available visual representations in the form of daily and weekly stats and reports.
Why HC ADSync?
There are plenty of good reasons to use HC ADSync for synchronizing your on-premises identities with those in the Cloud. The most important ones are:
Implementation
HC ADSync is far easier to implement than other more complex options. Installing and configuring HC ADSync simply involves a few one-time configuration steps. HC ADSync is a simple service which requires an installation over the primary (or additional) domain controllers. Once installed, AD objects can be selected to initiate the sync process between the ADs.
Complexity
HC ADSync does not require a two-way trust relationship to be established between domains neither does it demand the added complication of deploying an ADFS infrastructure. No additional servers, SSL certificates or DNS entries are required.
Cost
Costs can be cut into half or even more by deploying HC ADSync. There are no additional costs to consider above those of the licenses whereas other more expensive alternates like ADFS require additional server licensing, SSL certificates, hardware costs and/or virtual infrastructure resources and consultancy costs.
