I am new to Sharepoint 2013 and started working on Sharepoint 2013 Foundation version. I have a requirement that suggest to Import or Synchronize Active Directory users with Sharepoint user profiles. Before getting more into it, is it possible to Import AD user profile in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 through Central Administration? Or it can be done only in Server edition?

Thanks

In SharePoint 2016 there are no Foundation only version to be installed, but on 2013 SharePoint Foundation is still available. You can use Active Directory import with either Foundation, Standard or Enterprise edition.

More to read:

To check your version, brows to http://CentralAdminURL:port/_admin/Conversion.aspx and see if you have Enterprise or Standard

  • I do not have Standard or Enterprise Edition, I am working on Sp 2013 Foundation version only. Is there any workaround/trick possible for AD User Import in Foundation version?

    "In SharePoint 2013 there are no Foundation only version...." - Are you sure you meant 2013 and not 2016? Because this. They removed foundation from 2016.

  • Yes, because the functionality to import users from active directory does not exist in sharepoint 2013 foundation
