This article applies to:

  • Product edition: inSync Cloud and On-Premise 

Overview

Consider a scenario where the AD OU list is too large, which prevents the selection of the desired AD Group or OU to import its users in inSync.

inSync displays the following error:

OU List too large to populate error while creating AD mapping.

However, even after switching to manual AD/LDAP filters, importing users fails after creating the AD mapping.

This article provides the steps required to create Manual AD filters to import AD Group / Organization Unit based users.
