Summary I am delighted to announce, that we have extended active directory user data import to include the email address of the active directory user. This will automatically improve the normalization/deduplication of user data when imported from Inventory and SaaS publishers (This eliminates the need for a business adapter to populate email addresses for each inventory user to normalize user data imported from inventory and SaaS).   Active Directory User Email Address Import Active directory user import is now extended to import the email address of each active directory user where available. This means customer/s do not have to populate/update user inventory data with the email address using a business adapter as it will be automatically done when active directory user data is imported using the latest Flexera inventory beacon.  What Do I Need to Do Flexera One ITAM customer/s are required to upgrade the Flexera inventory beacon to version 18.2.0 or later. Applies to Flexera One ITAM FlexNet Manager Suite 2022 R2 release (Planned to be released in December 2022)   ... View more
