The feature will provide one-way synchronization of data from Active Directory to ADAM and keep the ADAM data consistent with the source Active Directory data. Application administrators and developers can use a configuration file and a scriptable command line interface to specify a filtered and scoped subset of data to be pulled from Active Directory to ADAM.
There will be no data written back to Active Directory and the objects and values in ADAM are not transformed in any way. Object or attribute based evaluation rules cannot be implemented. Values from the source (Active Directory) are authoritative. While the application may extend the data stored in ADAM, any shared data will be overwritten on subsequent runs, with data values from Active Directory.
