G Suite Password Sync (GSPS) automatically keeps your users' passwords in sync with their Microsoft Active Directory passwords. Whenever a user's Active Directory password is changed, GSPS immediately pushes the change to their managed Google Account.
Important: GSPS never changes Active Directory passwords; it only syncs Active Directory password changes to your organization's Google Account.
GSPS is available to G Suite and Cloud Identity administrators.
Before you begin
GSPS system requirementsIf you have the legacy free edition of G Suite, upgrade to G Suite Basic to get this feature.
