This setting defines the search query scope. To improve query performance, limit the scope to a specific OU.

IMPORTANT: To test the rule configuration, limit the rule scope to an OU that contains test accounts or objects and use the Preview feature.

Query criteria are sent with the query and may improve query performance.

TIP: For additional information on the criteria builder, see the How to use Query Builder dialog for Query Criteria and Filter rule settings.

Set the filtering conditions to hide unwanted data based on criteria not supported in the Query criteria setting.

Example: filter by the found object Distinguished Name.

TIP: For optimal performance, use the Query criteria setting above to filter objects whenever possible.

Define the object properties to display in the output file.

List of properties required for this rule to be executed correctly.

Sort result object list.

NOTE: If no data source file is set, all settings in the Map Settings from File section will be ignored.

The […] button allows to browse for the file and the Create/Edit button allows the creation or editing of the existing file in the built-in Data Source editor.

Group DNs should be separated with ";".

CSV file format:

GroupsDN,UserAnchor"groupDN1;groupDN2",anchorvalue1

Specify the separator used in the source CSV file.

Defines the attribute in the Active Directory to which the Data Source anchor attribute is to be compared.

Select a column in the data source that contains the attribute value for identifying and mapping a computer.

Usually, rules use query criteria to limit the query search scope. It improves the performance of the executed rule.

Due to the PowerShell limitations, it is not possible to use calculated expressions in query criteria. That is the point where the initialization script can help. You can initialize a global variable in this setting and then use it in query criteria.

IMPORTANT: To use a variable, declared in the initialization script, in the query scope, it must be global: $global:<variable name>.

Example: Update AD users, created in the last ten days.

1. Add this initialization script

   Copy

   {$global:DatePeriod = (Get-Date).AddDays(-10)}

2. Use the $DatePeriod variable in the query criteria builder:

You can select one of the following actions:

• Add to groups and preserve the previous user membership

• Add to groups and clear user membership in other groups 

• Remove from groups and preserve user membership in other groups
