72 Chapter 5 Using Directory Synchronization
Configuring Synchronization Tasks
You can use the synchronization task to configure a new CallPilot system,
or to update an existing system. If a user exists in the external directory,
and not in CallPilot, the user is added as a new mailbox (provided the task
filter criteria are satisfied). If there is a match between a CallPilot user
and an external directory user, the CallPilot user is linked to the external

tasks to run weekly or monthly keeps the directory in synchronization and
reduces your work load.

the resulting link is invalid.
