When users are imported, local accounts are created in Kerio MailServer.Therefore, when you are editing Active Directory (removing or adding users), the KerioMailServer configuration must also be edited (new user import or deleting an account).• It is recommended to enable the Directory Service Lookup option in the Debug log (for moreinformation, see chapter 22.8) before starting the import process. Logged informationabout the import process might help you where troubleshooting is necessary.The Import button located below the user list is also a menu. This menu includes optionsof import from a directory service (NT domain, Active Directory, Novell eDirectory) or importfrom a CSV file.
