πŸ“ŒNote: This article requires advanced technical knowledge. It is designed to be used by technical teams who have understanding of Powershell and have access to a test server environment.

PeopleHR cannot update your AD directly with changes to certain attributes such as job titles, this is because you need to:

  • Open up your AD over the internet so our servers can see it.

  • Provide us with your administrator level passwords.

The safe implementation of updating your AD is to use the following technique, which runs on your servers:

  • Use the People API or Query tool to generate a list of attributes that need to be updated to your AD.

  • Use Powershell to update your AD.

We've documented how to use our API and how to build a query to get data out.
