    A direct question:

    Does User Profile Service in 2007 OR 2010 support a two way integration? I mean

     --> Changes made to user profile on SharePoint will reflect into AD?

    Thanks

    In 2010 you can map a property to a sync connection as either Import or Export.  If properties are mapped as Import then they will flow from AD to SharePoint.  If setup as Export they will flow from SharePoint to AD.  By default properties are only set to Import.  You have to manually setup any properties that you want to Export.  Be aware that you can't use the same sync connection for import and export on a particular property.  But you can setup some properties for Import and others for Export using a single connection.

    It can be done in SharePoint 2010.  But you need to make sure that the user Profile Sync account has Replicating Directory changes permission on the OU in AD.

    So the setting is to do "incremental import" for user profile service to replicate the changes from SharePoint to AD?
