If you need that plus inbound sync updates from AD to FDS (e.g. new users, non-password attribute changes), then you can achieve the desired functionality only with a code change. It'd be a very simple code change I think though : just find the place where changelog records are read and processed for sending to AD. Comment out that code. I can't think of a reason why disabling outbound updates would break any of the inbound functionality, but I've only thought about it for a few minutes... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
