All:
Inspired by the recent thread concerning the best way to import people into ITSM 7, I wanted to pose the slightly rhetorical question, "Why import people at all?" I'm not certain I agree with the methodology of duplicating data from one existing data source into another. If the Active Directory is an organization's authoritative source of user data, why import it into a separate database? Why not just do a direct pull from the AD on-the-fly? We don't use ITSM here (yet), but we don't import people data-we just pull AD data on-the-fly and it works like a champ. Thoughts?
