Sharepoint and Active Directory Integration

Question

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.

Answer 1

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