  1. The first step is we need to define our orgunit structure as we defined it earlier in our example. For this, we will create a simple table:

  2. Next we will create an SQL Management Agent to bring in this structure. Now, if this data was already present, we could have created a view to dynamically get this OU structure as follows:

    FROM 
               [FIMSynchronizationService].dbo.mms_metaverse WITH (NOLOCK)
    UNION ALL

    FROM            [FIMSynchronizationService].dbo.mms_metaverse WITH (NOLOCK)
    WHERE        employeetype IS NOT NULL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT DISTINCT CONVERT(nvarchar(50), employeetype) + '-' + CONVERT(nvarchar(50...
