To commit changes to the target Active Directory domain
This scenario demonstrates how to update user accounts in an Active Directory domain when the information on employees is changed in the Human Resource (HR) database held in a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file.
NOTE: This scenario can be used only if the Employees OU already contains user accounts created with the creating scenario described earlier in this document. Only accounts for previously created employees will be updated.
This section explains how to create a step that updates user accounts from the HR database to the target Active Directory domain.
