The VMP Server can synchronize with an Active Directory or an
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service to import
Organizational Units, security groups, and Distribution Lists. When an import is complete, VMP
has the ability to convert the Organizational Units to VMP Distribution Lists.

Configuring VMP for Active Directory for more details.
For the Active Directory LDS source, you must provide the following additional fields:
Naming Context: The Active Directory LDS naming context
that contains the groups and users that you want to synchronize with
VMP.
Select a naming context from the list provided.
Domain Mapping: The domain name mapping to use, in the format
mydomain.com = MYDOMAIN.
For example, if your Active Directory LDS source users have email addresses such as user@voceradomain.com,
the domain mapping
voceradomain.com = VOCERADOMAIN
indicates that these
addresses can be accessed as VOCERADOMAIN\user, which is the format that the
VMP Server requires.
Note: The service account that connects to LDS must have reader access for the default naming context.
