How it works

itrezzoGCupdate application provides the ability to update Microsoft Active Directory(AD) using itrezzo EPS contact information: field level update on pre-existing active directory entries. For example, assume the EPS reference data has a business phone number for a user, and the respective user's property in AD doesn't have that phone number or has an outdated phone number. When the itrezzoGCupdate process runs, the phone number will be updated in AD.

Basic steps



Runs as a Service

The itrezzoGC Update runs as a NT service. It is given permissions to perform the required updates. So, GC update should be started under NT service not under Local System account.
