How to import Active Directory users into inSync v5.2

Summary

An IT administrator can register an Active Directory (AD) account and import AD users into inSync 5.2.

Once the authentication succeeds, the wizard allows import of users. The imported users will be created using either a Common name or Windows Log in ID/Name. This article lists the steps to be followed when importing AD users into inSync.
