The automatic users and groups synchronization is provided by this Windows service. This service is installed by the setup pack and started automatically after installation.

The default suggested installation path is DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe.

The synchronization service can also be executed from a command line.

You must specify the /c or /console parameter.

The following parameters are optional:

Parameter	Definition

/t[est]	Launch a synchronization test
/h[elp] or /?	Displays the help for console execution

If an error occurs the exit code 1 is returned, otherwise 0 is returned.
