Google apps + active directory = HOT

I got all hot and bothered when I read this in the Google Enterprise blog this morning…

“Google Apps Directory Sync lets businesses and schools with an LDAP user directory systems like Microsoft Active Directory or Lotus Domino transition more quickly and smoothly to Google Apps. Instead of manually maintaining a separate user account directory in Google Apps, this utility lets Google Apps tap into an existing repository of user account information.”

As one of my coworkers commented, this will make the transition from other mail systems to Google Apps a whole lot easier. As another coworker commented, “So hot it’s cool…For real!”

One thing to keep in mind… “Google Apps Directory Sync is now included at no additional cost with Google Apps Premier, Education and Partner Edition customers.” Sorry, Standard Edition customers; this isn’t for you.
