I’ve tried to get an instance importing but still with no luck – there must be something else preventing it from importing… Anyways, I decided to write down my research for the day:
Default SharePoint settings are:
Search Base: dc=domain,dc=company,dc=com
Base Query: (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))
Options:
Options for Search Base:
- Can define a specific OU to base the import on. eg. ou=Sydney,ou=Department1,dc=domain,dc=company,dc=com
Options for LDAP Filter Query:
Get all accounts with email address:
(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))(email=*))
Get active accounts – filter our disabled AD accounts:
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))
Get accounts in the Department1 OU:
(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(memberof:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=(CN=Authenticated Users,OU=Department1,DC=domain,dc=company,dc=com)))
Get accounts with a first name:
(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))(!(!givenName=*)))
