Directory Sync and Suspended Users

Directory Sync allows mid-size and larger organizations to manage Google Apps user accounts through Active Directory or other LDAP servers on the internal network.

The latest Google Apps Directory Sync version (1.6.7) now supports suspend user functionality and other new use cases to make deployment easier such as:

• The ability to sync users as suspended from LDAP
• The ability to suspend a user in Apps, when the user is deleted from LDAP

Improved Directory Sync with Google Apps

One of the advantages of the paid versions of Google Apps is the additional integration features provided. Even smaller companies gain when administration time is minimized.

Recently, Google updated the capabilities of Google Apps Directory Sync:

• Google Apps Directory Sync can now help synchronize contact information for non-employees (as well as employees) that are listed in the central LDAP directory, so that employees can look up and contact important customers, partners and vendors.
  
• More contact fields can be synchronized between an LDAP system and Google Apps. Rich user profile information like multiple phone numbers, addresses and job titles are now supported.

With these enhancements, it is now easier to manage your Google Apps user accounts as part of your overall directory (including Active Directory) administration.

Better User Admin for Google Apps

Back in April, Google released Google Apps Directory Sync, a tool that lets Google Apps administrators add, remove, and change Google Apps accounts automatically as changes are made to the directory service on the local network. The tool works with Microsoft Active Directory and Lotus Domino.

A few weeks ago, Google release a significant upgrade that includes:

• The ability to synchronize non-employees (i.e. contacts) kept in the central directory.
• Inclusion of more fields from contact records, including email addresses, phone numbers, etc.

The addition of these features enhances and further simplifies administration of Google Apps in a managed network environment.
