Hello Raajkumar,

Unfortunately, Sharepoint does not write back to AD, and AD will not write permissions to Sharepoint unless the AD group is a member of a current Sharepoint group. If you want to sync the AD and Sharepoint permissions, add the AD group to Sharepoint. You will not be able to see who is a member of that group from Sharepoint, but any time a new user is added to the AD group, they will be pushed to the Sharepoint site as well. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I need to sync the AD(Active Directory) distribution list and sharepoint user list. Its like I have different distribution like User group, Manager group etc...So the present situation is like if I want to add a person in a distribution list, I need to add the person in both AD and Sharepoint users and groups area. Is it possible to make it automatic like once if I update in AD it should be reflected in sharepoint also.

Please Help me!
