How is profile synchronization implemented in SharePoint farm?
SharePoint Profile Synchronization and Active Directory Import are the two primary methods by which we can implement Profile Synchronization. When we set up the SharePoint farm we can chose to run an instance of the Synchronization service in one of the server which is called the Synchronization Server.
We will be focusing almost exclusively on the FIM Service and Portal components in this article and not talking to the FIM Sync service, Reporting or Certificate Management.
