We have not used snapshot tools yet, but have been (since Basic licence days) creating user batch files from the data source for Active Directory.

As such, we'd like to integrate Blackboard with Active Directory and/or HEMIS on Win 2003 SP1. I'd be really interested to know if anyone has any experience of filling the Blackboard database with information from another source. I look forward to receiving your replies. With kind regards Tasha ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Mrs Natasha Harden Web & Managed Learning Environment Officer Peninsula Medical School Room C303, Portland Square Plymouth, PL4 8AA (01752) 238030 [log in to unmask]
