Our environment is as follows – 

-Windows Active Directory 2003
-Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
-MOSS 2007

Our problem is simple – I cannot seem to figure out how to import AD groups into the profiles DB. The user profiles have a timer job setup to do full and incremental imports and they are both working fine. We have ~15 active directory groups currently listed under “People and Groups” in SharePoint and as far as I recall nothing special was done to import these.

It was brought to my attention recently that one of the groups email addresses changed and had not updated in MOSS. I am unable to figure out what controls the group synchronization/import. Any advice would be appreciated, whether I’m missing something obvious or if its some obscure STSADM command I’ve overlooked.

Thanks SO.

    I don’t think that AD groups are synchronized as user profiles in MOSS/WSS.

    You can add an AD group to a SharePoint group (and it works fine), but there will not be a profile for it in the SSP.

    See ajaybawa’s blog for how to configure the profile import.
