Changing synchronization.synchronizeChangesOnly to false means the scheduled job for synchronization runs in Full Mode. Not sure that full mode is triggered in server startup as well.

You can try running the job by either changing the cron or using jconsole.

In fact, it is not. Full mode is not triggered in startup. A trick for doing this in the startup is doing ldap.synchronization.personQuery the same as ldap.synchronization.personDifferentialQuery

Hi Cesar,

still the issue is not resolved. even i have made changes in alfresco-global.properties and ldap-ad subsystem properties with below values:

on both alfresco-global.properties and ldap-ad.properties:

synchronization.synchronizeChangesOnly=false
synchronization.allowDeletions=true

On alfresco-global.properties:

synchronization.syncWhenMissingPeopleLogIn=true
synchronization.syncOnStartup=false
#synchronization.import.cron=* * * * * ?
synchronization.import.cron=* 0/10 * * * ?
ldap.synchronization.enableProgressEstimation=true

ldap.synchronization.userAccountStatusInterpreter=ldapadUserAccountStatusInterpreter

### user account status syncronization ###
synchronization.externalUserControl=true
synchronization.externalUserControlSubsystemName=ad2,ad4
ldap.synchronization.userAccountStatusProperty=userAccountControl
ldap.synchronization.disabledAccountPropertyValue=514

after i restarted alfresco service, still i can see old users in alfresco and their user status also NOT synced. let me know is this functionality will work with alfresco with AD configuration or is there something which i'm missing.
