I am using Nintex workflow in SharePoint 2016 On Premise. Need to create a site workflow that shall retrieve all active users from an Active Directory. After that I shall store those user in a list.

Is there an Action Item I could use? User Profile? Do I need a loop?

Thanks a bunch!

 

Regards,

    Hi ​@guru2000,

    The only action that Nintex Workflow for 2016 has to query the Active Directory is the Query LDAP action.
    The issue is that this action only returns one attribute, so it cannot retrieve every user.
    Microsoft does not provide an API for AD on-premise, so this is not an option either.
    You will need to find some middleware to export your list of users so that they can then be added to a list.
