Universal Learning Environments
  • Where students, teachers, parents and administrators are seamlessly connected to the applications they need and to each other through a single desktop interface
  • Maximize a school or district's investment in, and management of, educational technology
  • Enable communication, collaboration, creation, assessment and reporting in support of student achievement
Unlike the many mass import tools that just automate the creation of user accounts, ClassSync is unique in that it synchronizes the full AD schema to your SIS data.

ClassSync eliminates one of the most time-consuming and repetitive tasks for the IT Staff. The Active Directory (AD) should only contain validated student accounts, cross-checked by the SIS. When the AD contains invalid accounts, grants access to unenrolled students, and generally makes account management more complex, the IT team can't work to its full potential.
  • Eliminating those excess accounts means:
    1. Time Savings for the IT staff
    2. Faster, Streamlined Ongoing Operations
    3. Increased security (elimination of unauthorized users from system)
    4. Accuracy for Reporting
    5. Better Space Management (no more storing files of unenrolled/transferred or graduated students)

ClassSync can be used an unlimited number of times throughout the school year to ensure that the AD is current and clean.


The ClassSync Process
This program leads the user step-by-step in cleaning out the AD to match it exactly to the SIS. There is no training needed to use ClassSync. It's a simple six-step process outlined in the Welcome screen and shown below:

After connecting to Active Directory, the SIS is then imported from your network.


The next three steps guide you through configuring and reviewing user templates for the new, updated, and clean Active Directory. Select your variables from SIS for your customized AD.

Important! The program creates a virtual version of your AD as the working version as it completes the process. Your AD is not affected until you give the OK in the last step.

In the last step, you can review the users that have been created for the new Active Directory, resolve any issues with accounts that do not match the SIS, and make the final decision to replace the old AD with the new, updated version.


It's that simple. An awful, time-consuming task is now automated and customized for your school, your SIS, and your Active Directory.
