Synchronizing user accounts from Microsoft Active Directory

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
CloudLink synchronizes user and group information from Microsoft Active Directory in Exchange on-premises environments to Arctera Insight Archiving.
CloudLink facilitates you to:
  • Browse the Organizational Unit (OU) structure to select mailbox-enabled users and mail-enabled group objects for synchronization.
  • Synchronize individual user accounts, including those within security groups and nested dynamic groups.
    Note: CloudLink synchronizes email aliases only for individual accounts. Aliases within security groups or dynamic groups are not synchronized.
  • Detect changes in Active Directory such as user or group creation, deletion, disablement, and modification, and propagate those changes to Arctera Insight Archiving as configured.
  • Define synchronization actions for specific account changes occurring in Active Directory.
