The server service requires information to be able to make a synced copy of data from Active Directory.
The manager can see a live version of Active Directory Users and Computers from within the Users and Computers tab.
Station Information and User Information that is stored is used to match client requests from workstations rather than querying Active Directory each time
therefore causing substantial load on Domain Controllers and potential security issues from direct client access.

Because of the load that is put on the server service and the Domain Controller during the sync, the sync time by default it set to 30 minutes.
This usually does not cause any problems with resource deployment, unless users are moved in short succession
during testing. In which instance there is a manual sync option.

It is completely understandable that most people running a trial of the software will want to create a temporary OU
structure to see the tools in use before committing it to your production network layout.
The initial setup is flexible and the OU locations or names can be changed so it is possible to link it to an
existing OU structure at a later date or migrate objects to the new structure.
This is something that should be carried out with the help of Burconix Support.
