We got our hands on three great support videos for BPOS Directory Synchronization. These videos will help you maximize your potential while using Microsoft BPOS.
In our first video we take a look at Installing and Configuring Directory Synchronization. This video walks us through an introduction to Directory Synchronization, or DirSync. This video also describes the purpose of DirSync and prerequisites to utilizing DirSync. It then helps us set up DirSync with a full walkthrough of installing and configuring the DirSync tool.
In our second vide we learn about Using Directory Synchronization. The video walks us through two scenarios that demonstrate prime examples for utilizing DirSync. Make sure you watch this support video and learn more about the opportunities that wait with Directory Synchronization and Microsoft Online Services.
In our third video we learn how to Troubleshoot Common Directory Synchronization Issues. This video gives us a brief introduction into DirSync and prerequisites for troubleshooting. If your computer meets all the proper prerequisites mentioned in this video, then continue watching to learn how to troubleshoot DirSync. This video provides great advice for anyone that wants to learn more about the backend DirSync.

I'm a consultant and have been implementing BPOS for small companies. Our niche is to service companies under 75 employees. Many of these companies have only 1 server, which is SBS. The AD Sync tool cannot be installed on an AD server. These companies have no other server. The only option is to install another server or enter all these users manually into the BPOS system. It would be great if the sync tool could be installed on an AD server. When will that feature be available.
Allan, you can use some other products like BPOS Commander (BPOS-experts.com)...
You can also create some scripts to do that.

Jimmy Marchetto.
