  14. Go to Sync Settings, then set the following:
    1. Default Password: This one-time password will be used for all newly-created Zoho user accounts. Users will be prompted to set a new password during their first sign-in.
    2. User Settings: This setting dictates how the Sync Tool will handle user accounts deleted in the AD server.
    3. Create LDAP Group: This setting creates a Zoho One collaboration group named after your Portal Name, for all users synced from AD through this tool.
    4. Create Groups for OUs: This setting creates a Zoho One collaboration group named after the OU, for each OU that is being synced.
  15. Go to Directory Sync, and review the list of all users and groups that are yet to be created, updated, or disabled. Click Sync.
  16. Note: You can see the status of all the users/groups after the sync.
