Synchronizing user accounts between directory servers and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

You can configure directory servers to import and synchronize users with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. You must have already added the directory servers before you can synchronize the information about users.

Note:

If you delete a directory server connection from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, you must delete any organizational units (OUs) that you created before you can synchronize data between the servers.
