Hate to talk about an unreleased product but the New MS Meta Directory Services 3.0 should be able to do this pretty easily. But it may also be overkill.
Saw it a MEC and it looked to be a big improvement over the old MMS product. You no longer need a consulting contract to get it and it looked very easy to use.

Say, is the flat file in CSV format? -----Original Message----- From: Andy Grafton [mailto:orangerover@;hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD user sync to flat file This is one of those "does anyone know a product which can do this...?" questions. Apologies. Have an Active Directory (single domain) with about 65,000 users. Have a personnel system which produces a flat file consisting of [only] usernames. Once a week, our customer wants to run a utility which will perform a very simple "synchronisation" of the users in the Active Directory with those listed in the flat file. The rules... If the user is in the flat file and the directory, do nothing. If the user is in the flat file but not the directory, create it in the directory [in a default location]. If the user is in the directory, but not the flat file, delete it from the directory. My immediate response is that you should do this with a script of some sort, but I was wondering if anyone has located a product can do such simple things? If its relatively inexpensive, then its not worth spending programming hours on reinventing the wheel. I had a look at NetIQ, Fastlane and iPlanet's offerings, but they are all far too heavyweight to even consider. Don't ask why the flat file... The personnel system is not connected to anything and the data travels by CD and sneaker-net.
