Can Directory Sync manage Mimecast users if the directory is on-premise?

Directory Sync is designed to integrate with various directory services, allowing for the management of users irrespective of whether the directory is on-premise or cloud-based. This capability is essential for organizations that may have hybrid environments where some users are managed in cloud directories and others in on-premise directories. By enabling Directory Sync to manage both types of directories, Mimecast ensures a seamless experience for organizations, allowing them to synchronize user accounts, attributes, and email addresses across different systems.

The versatility of Directory Sync facilitates the consistent management of users, ensuring that any changes made in one directory are reflected in Mimecast promptly. This helps in maintaining accurate user data, enhancing security measures, and streamlining ongoing user management processes. Thus, the option stating that it can manage both on-premise and cloud directories accurately reflects the functionality and benefits of Mimecast's Directory Sync.
