USO Sync
USOSync enables a school’s local Microsoft Active
Directory to be securely synchronised with USO
Extends USO into a school’s local domain to simplify logins
USOSync allows a school to populate its Microsoft Active Directory with user accounts from USO which is populated by MIS data. This allows user details to be created or amended in your Active Directory (AD) soon after those details are entered into the school’s MIS without any manual administration.
All changes happen by the information being securely exported from the MIS to USO and then having that information written into your AD. USOSync then continues to handle the on-going synchronisation of accounts.
USOSync with Google
USOSync is also able to synchronise USO accounts with Google services. For more information on this service please get in touch.
Reduces the account administration burden on schools
USOSync creates users, organised into appropriate Organisational Units for ease of management (e.g. the application of policies). It also adds users to various groups according to their account profiles e.g. user type (students, staff and nominated contacts), year group, etc.#
It can calculate and set paths for login scripts and profiles (but leaves the profiles themselves open to local management and configuration), and it can create home area shares in a variety of fashions (e.g. one folder per user, or a shared folder in which each person has a subfolder, all with appropriately set permissions).
Pupil accounts are automatically moved from one year group to the next at the start of the school year and accounts that are removed from the MIS will also be taken out of the AD.
