The Directory Synchronization Tool synchronizes groups, valid recipients and email aliases from the source directory to the Trend Micro Email Security server.
Trend Micro recommends testing the synchronization locally before synchronizing the groups, valid recipients and email aliases from the source directory to the Trend Micro Email Security server. See Testing synchronization locally for the procedure.
Important
Important
  • To synchronize groups, valid recipients and email aliases successfully, make sure the domains of these targets have been registered with and verified on Trend Micro Email Security. You can find your domain status on the Domains screen on the Trend Micro Email Security administrator console.
  • You can only use one Directory Synchronization Tool application to synchronize data. If you use the Directory Synchronization Tool application installed on another location, the data synchronized from the last tool will be overwritten.
