    I guess the feature that supports refresh for Active Directory data source is under development, and the ActiveDirectory option is added in the source list.

Hi guys,

 

Are there any news on this? 

 

Is there any way to have scheduled refresh on AD datasource?

 

Thanks

 I have been refreshing my Active Directory data source on a schedule since January and exactly 3 months after setting it up, it stopped working  with error  Invalid connection credentials error.  tried updating the on prem data gateway and resetting the password on the account that runs it.

Is anyone else refreshing Active Directory data source successfully?  it was previously working for me

    mjmmet Have you had any luck with the AD gateway yet? Did you get it to work now? I can't even create a data source to AD.
