Active Directory / LDAP

The three main components of the Active Directory integration are:

1. The Desktop Alert AD Sync Service Application located in c:\Program Files\DesktopAlertService\DesktopAlert.Service.exe on the web server. 
2. The Active Directory Synchronization service settings.xml (c:\program files\desktopalertservice\settings.xml)
3. The Desktop Alert website utilizes a setting in the web.config

Desktop Alert AD Sync Service Application is available for .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 and is installed using one of the following command line prompts (cmd) from a DOS window:
