Syncing Excel Worksheet to Active Directory

[ramsabi]

I have downloaded existing data from Active Directory to an Excel worksheet. Now I want the data in the sheet to be synced with Active Directory once a day so that changes in Active Directory are updated in the Excel file.

Can someone help please?

I am using Office 365, Windows 10.

Syncing Excel Worksheet to Active Directory

Adjust or synchronize a directory including subdirectories via VBA.

In the end, the content must be completely uniform on both sides.

In the target folder, delete the files / directories that are not the same as the source folder.

In the end, both sides (source and destination) are completely the same.

Source = "D: \ Projects \ Service \ Nikolino \ 2021 \ Mystery \"

Target = "S: \ Backup \ Projects \ Service \ Nikolino \ 2021 \ Mystery \"

                If GetAttr (strPath & strFolder) And vbDirectory Then
                    Redim Preserve astrFolders (0 To ialngIndex1)

I would be happy to know if I could help.
