SPF-AD-SYNC

SharePoint Foundation - User Profile Synchronization - The objective of this project is to provide a simple and effective way to synchronize the properties of a SharePoint user with the properties of their domain account. Indeed, in foundation version of SharePoint, information in the UserInformation list only syncs with AD when the user is first added or logs in the first time. No synchronization properties is provided in this release, it is only available with the service application "User Profile" available in the paid version (SharePoint Server). However, there is a native ability to synchronize accounts with the cmdlet "Set-SPUser" and the parameter "SyncFromAD". However, it only updates the name (Name / Display name) and email address (E-mail / Work E-mail). To go further, it is necessary to directly update the list "User Information List" with the attributes of the accounts. The account attributes are easily retrievable via cmdlets "Get-ADUser" provided in the "Active Directory for Windows PowerShell module" feature available with Windows 2008 R2 or higher.
