In the long, long ago when everyone ran their own Exchange servers, ExchangeDefender offered XDSync to automate creation of ExchangeDefender users as soon as they were added to the Active Directory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>Fast forward to 2019<\/strong>: Few people still run their own Active Directory and most users are now on cloud-based email services that don&#8217;t use Active Directory.
