User Profile Sync Basic

Is the sync process that comes with SharePoint not doing enough for you?

The Bamboo User Profile Sync allows you to automatically synchronize a master user database with another user database. You can map properties from the master user database to the target user database and view whether the update was successful as well as an audit trail of how each item was updated. Use the Windows Scheduler to automate the sync process.

With Release 1.4, users added to or deleted from a SharePoint User Information List (WSS 3.0), Contacts List, or AD can be automatically added or deleted in the target List (i.e. SharePoint User Information List (WSS 3.0) or Contacts List). In addition, users added to a SharePoint User Information List (WSS 3.0) can be automatically assigned to a SharePoint group.

There are five sync types offered with User Profile Sync. They are:

MOSS 2007 User Profile database to Active Directory.
Active Directory to a WSS 3.0 User Information List.
WSS 3.0 User Information List to a WSS 3.0 User Information List(s).
Active Directory to a Contacts List in WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007.
A Contacts List in WSS 3.0 to a WSS 3.0 User Information List(s).
