But isn't it how the fedora ds does the AD sync?. I mean can I just write the script to connect to AD directly and do ldapsearch for updates?
Yes. The thing is that Fedora DS will not automatically send changes to a database. You'd have to write a plugin for that. It's much simpler to just script it - most scripting languages have ODBC/SQL support as well as LDAP support.
Alternatively can I do a script to search for the user against his/her group from the updates obtained by Fedora-ds from AD?
I'm not sure what you mean by "against his/her group".
IF so what are the docs and packages i should be looking at?

Thanks in advance

Thank you the sync works fine. My actual task is to store the AD users and groups in our company database through the fedora-ds. I was wondering if this is possible,

Like  AD-->FDS-->Own database

IS this a possibility?. If it is then how would I do it?
The usual way to do this is to write a script to use ldapsearch to pull changes from Fedora DS and write them to your database.
