New to the whole Sharepoint business, so any help is appreciated. Whenever a new user is created in Active Directory, I'd like Sharepoint to automatically populate itself to add the entry as a contact.

How and where do I set up the LDAP lookup or automatically import AD details.

Which version of SharePoint are you using? SharePoint Foundation does not include the User Profile Service Application or the ability to synchronize. – Mike Oryszak Dec 2 '11 at 4:53

You can have User profile synchronization and schedule the synchronization incremental timer job with the frequency you need.

You can follow these steps to create contacts from Active Directory in SharePoint 2010 / 2013 native list and replicate changes (one way only) via ADSI OLEDB driver and 3rd party connector codeless:

All list features are available in this way, eg. search or change notifications, workflows in SharePoint.
