About G Suite Password Sync
G Suite Password Sync (GAPS) automatically keeps your users' G Suite passwords in sync with their Microsoft® Active Directory® passwords. Whenever a user's Active Directory password is changed, GAPS pushes the change to G Suite immediately.
Important: GAPS never changes your Active Directory passwords; it only syncs Active Directory password changes to G Suite.
